Sarfraz Maredia, Uber’s executive overseeing autonomous efforts, will leave the company on November 16, 2026, after more than 12 years of service.

This departure is part of a wave of leadership exits in Uber’s autonomous division in 2026, which has already lost Guy Peterson and Lando Juarez earlier this year.

The company has committed more than $10 billion to robotaxi partnerships.
