Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi dropped a number this week that reframes everything about the company’s future. Uber is targeting a fleet of roughly 120,000 driverless vehicles (Robotaxi) and autonomous operations across at least 15 cities in 2026 — backed by $10 billion in investment across vehicles, infrastructure, and strategic partnerships.

It feels like there’s a new breach headline every week.

Every growing business eventually hits the same wall: customer information scattered across spreadsheets, inboxes, and someone’s personal notebook, with no single source of truth.
