监管文件显示,Uber 已出售所持全部 Serve Robotics 股份,结束了这家网约车平台与自动配送机器人公司持续多年的资本联系。知情人士称,Serve 在相关信息正式披露后才得知 Uber 已完成清仓。

Serve在披露后才知情

这项变动最早由彭博报道。公开文件显示,Uber 过去一年已在持续减持,2025 年就开始缩小持股比例,因此这次完全退出并非毫无铺垫。但对 Serve 而言,最终清仓仍来得突然。

Uber 目前尚未就此公开置评。报道提到,两家公司虽然曾长期保持紧密关系,但近来在业务层面的方向已逐步分化。

合作基础来自Postmates

Serve 的前身是 Postmates X,即即时配送平台 Postmates 的机器人部门。Uber 在 2020 年以 26.5 亿美元收购 Postmates 后,这一业务被纳入体系,并在 2021 年拆分为独立公司 Serve Robotics。

Uber 此后不仅持股,还在 2022 年与 Serve 建立合作,把人行道配送机器人接入平台。到 2023 年 5 月,双方进一步扩大合作,计划在美国多个市场通过 Uber 应用部署最多 2,000 台 Serve 机器人。

续约预期已明显降温

不过,Serve 管理层上周在第二季度财报电话会上表示,双方合作的延续性正在减弱。联合创始人兼首席执行官 Ali Kashani 称,从 2022 年第一季度到今年第一季度,经由 Uber 完成的配送量连续 17 个季度增长,但这一趋势在第二季度首次逆转。

他将原因归结为机器人利用率低于预期。基于这一变化,Serve 目前预计,在双方合作协议于 2027 年初到期后,续签的必要性可能已经不高。

补充信息:Serve 只是 Uber 近年投资或合作的 30 多家自动驾驶技术公司之一,此次退出反映出 Uber 正继续调整其在自动驾驶和机器人领域的投资组合。
