The Quirky Side of Robotaxis
Uber's annual Lost and Found Index has taken an unusual turn by including items left behind in robotaxis for the first time. As the company partners with driverless car firms like Waymo and Motional, it has gathered enough data to highlight the oddities passengers forget in these autonomous vehicles.
Among the most common items left behind are:
- Phones (iPhones, Androids, and even flip phones)
- Wallets and keys
- Headphones and glasses
- Driver's licenses and passports
