Uber autonomous mobility chief Sarfraz Maredia to depart

The departure is the latest in a series of executive exits from Uber 's autonomous division.

Guy Peterson, who led business development for autonomous partnerships, joined Rivian $RIVN Automotive's bike spinoff, Also, as chief business officer this month, according to Bloomberg.

The executive churn coincides with a turbulent stretch for Uber 's autonomous division, which saw its alliances with Alphabet $GOOGL's Waymo and Serve Robotics fall apart, according to Bloomberg.

Those efforts span cities in the U.S., the Middle East, and Europe, though most remain limited in scale.

Uber 's autonomous division leadership changes come against a broader backdrop of cost-cutting at the company.
