Uber surprised robotics company Serve by selling its entire stake
Uber has divested its entire stake in Serve Robotics, an autonomous delivery company that originally spun out of Uber's Postmates division. The move follows a decline in robot utilization and diverging business strategies between the two companies.
Why it matters
This signals a potential cooling of the autonomous delivery market and highlights the challenges of scaling robotic logistics within ride-hailing ecosystems.
Uber has sold off its entire stake in Serve Robotics, the autonomous delivery robot company that spun out of the ride-hailing company more than five years ago.
Uber made the disclosure in a regulatory filing that was first reported by Bloomberg. Uber’s exit from Serve Robotics has been brewing for at least a year, according to regulatory filings that show the company reduced its stake in 2025.
Still, the final selloff came as a surprise to Serve, which learned about it once it was officially disclosed, according to a source familiar with the events. Uber could not be immediately reached for comment.
The divesture comes as the two once-tight companies have started to diverge on the business side.
