The AI assistant will answer driver questions about EVs, supporting Uber's $800 million push to transition to electric vehicles by 2040. Additionally, Uber Green rides are now all electric in over 40 cities globally. The company is also partnering with Lotus Cars in London and Rivian in Los Angeles, Miami, and Dallas to showcase innovative electric rides starting in October. These initiatives were announced at the Go-Get Zero event, and Uber's stock is up +0.5% pre-market.
