Last week, Rivian (RIVN) and Uber (UBER) completed a $1.25 billion deal for up to 50,000 R2 robotaxis. The two dealmakers Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe and Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi have known each other for years, and the agreement was in the works for some time.
“Transportation, mobility is a small world, so I've known Dara for a long time,” Scaringe told Yahoo Finance in an exclusive interview. “We’ve been talking about this deal for maybe about a year, but different versions of it, and it’s hard to define a deal of scale where there’s so many unknowns.” https://finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-rivian-ceo-on-how-its-uber-deal-came-together-and-why-the-ai-driver-is-the-future-of-mobility-141312744.html/?err=1
