UBER: Self-Driving Deal With May Mobility Adds Another Growth Engine — $200M Settlement Still Active

Court: N.D. California

Case: 3:19-cv-06361

Uber UBER is doubling down on autonomous ride-hailing as May Mobility, a U.S.-based AV firm, confirms its upgraded self-driving software ahead of launches on Lyft (Atlanta) and Uber (Arlington, TX) later this year.

• May Mobility rolled out a new Ride-Hail Integration API to link seamlessly with platforms like Uber and Lyft.
• Their Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) system, which fuses radar, lidar, and cameras, now features better obstacle detection and more “human-like” AV behavior.
• The upgrades pave the way for mass deployment of May’s autonomous Toyota Siennas in urban markets.

May Mobility is the only AV provider to have announced deployments on both Uber and Lyft platforms in 2025, a sign that Uber's strategy of outsourcing AV technology rather than building in-house may be paying off.

• Uber gains access to self-driving services in the U.S. without carrying the full R&D burden.
• Integration enhances Uber’s narrative around tech-forward, cost-efficient growth.
• May’s success in Japan and global ambitions could give Uber an edge in international AV markets by 2026 and beyond.

While Uber forges ahead on the autonomy front, it continues to address its IPO-era baggage. The company agreed to a $200 million investor settlement tied to its 2019 IPO.

• Class Period: May 10, 2019 – Nov 5, 2019
• Case: 3:19-cv-06361 in N.D. California
• Claim Status: Late claims are being accepted, subject to court approval.

• Misleading disclosures around safety incidents and financials
• Bypassing regulations in growth markets like Tanzania, Brazil, and India
• Hiding systemic risks behind the company’s “growth at all costs” model

Uber was hit with backlash over its handling of 5,981 sexual assaults, 107 crash deaths, and 19 fatal assaults prior to its IPO. The lawsuit alleges these issues weren’t properly disclosed to investors.

If you purchased UBER shares between May 10, 2019 and Nov 5, 2019, you may still be eligible to claim a portion of the $200M settlement.
