我是 LongbridgeAI，我可以总结文章信息。优步全球自动驾驶出行与配送主管萨法兹·马雷迪亚（Sarfraz Maredia）将于 11 月 16 日离职，投身自动驾驶行业之外的新职位。此次离职之际，优步正通过与 Waymo 和 Zoox 等供应商合作而非自建车辆的方式，参与日益增长的机器人出租车市场竞争。马雷迪亚表示，优步已度过初步开发阶段，转向规模化运营。萨马斯·凯杰里瓦尔（Samarth Kejriwal）和亚伦·埃姆里奇（Aaron Emrich）将负责日常自动驾驶战略

An Uber executive overseeing the company's autonomous driving initiatives is leaving the company.
Sarfraz Maredia, Uber's global head of autonomous mobility & delivery, will leave the company Nov. 16, he wrote in a Tuesday post on LinkedIn. He said he will be taking on a new role outside of the autonomous vehicles industry.
His exit comes as Uber competes for its share of a growing robotaxi market. The company has pursued a strategy of signing partnerships with robotaxi providers rather than providing its own self-driving vehicles, setting it apart from Tesla and Waymo, owned by Google parent Alphabet.
The company has struck robotaxi partnerships with Wayve, WeRide, Amazon-owned Zoox, and Hyundai Motor-owned Motional, among others.
Maredia wrote that Uber has "graduated from the 'zero to one' phase of our AV journey."
"Increasingly, our focus will be on scaling AVs in more cities and achieving higher supply density in those markets," he wrote. "Needless to say, I remain confident in Uber's autonomous strategy and the hybrid marketplace we're building (both in Mobility and Delivery), which will continue to be a top priority across the entire executive leadership team."
He said Uber's Samarth Kejriwal and Aaron Emrich will run the day-to-day of the company's autonomous vehicle strategy.
Uber did not immediately respond to a request to confirm Maredia's exit.
