Uber and Hyundai Motor announce Aerial Ridesharing Partnership

Description

Uber and Hyundai Motor Company have today announced a new partnership to develop Uber Air Taxis for a future aerial ride share network and unveiled a new full-scale aircraft concept at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Hyundai is the first automotive company to join the Uber Elevate initiative, bringing automotive-scale manufacturing capability and a track record of mass-producing electric vehicles. The air vehicle concept Hyundai released today was created in part through Uber’s open design process, a NASA-inspired approach that jump-starts innovation by publicly releasing vehicle design concepts so any company can use them to innovate their air taxi models and engineering technologies.

California Fines Uber $59.1 Million

California has fined Uber $59.1 million. The company was fined for repeatedly refusing to turn over data related to its 2019 sexual assault report. According to Business Insider the report was supposed to be turned over to the California Public Utilities Commission. In the ruling, the judge ordered Uber to pay the fine and turn over the data within 30 days. CPUC, which oversees rideshare companies, can revoke Uber's license to operate in the state. Uber said it refused CPUC's requests to protect the privacy of survivors. The judge rejected that argument by noting Uber still wouldn't hand over the data when given the chance to do so anonymously.

Lyft To Challenge Uber Eats

Lyft is developing a delivery service to directly take on Uber Eats. The company announced the news during a Tuesday call with investors. The delivery service is still in its "very early stages." Lyft's service won't be a consumer-facing platform like Uber's business. Uber's growing delivery division has been a bonus to the company's business during the pandemic. Rides remain at a fraction of normal levels.

Uber Stock Approaches Record High

On Friday, Uber's stock price surged as much as 8%. The leap follows its third-quarter results. According to Business Insider Uber revealed a mixed recovery, with delivery continuing to help make up for a pandemic-induced slump. Executives said they still aim to be profitable on an adjusted basis next year. California's Prop. 22, which passed this week, was a decisive win for the company in its long-running labor battle. Prop. 22 allows Uber to treat workers as independent contractor in exchange for benefits and guarantees.
