Uber Pauses Most 2026 European Launches Amid Delivery Hero Bid
Uber has halted most of its planned 2026 expansion of food-delivery services in Europe, pausing entries in five of seven targeted countries, according to reporting that cites the Financial Times and Reuters. The company announced the original Uber Eats expansion plans in mid-February and had been preparing market launches in Austria, Norway, Greece, Denmark, Finland, the Czech Republic and Romania; it now views its Denmark and Finland launches as successful but will not proceed in several other markets. The strategic pause is reported to be linked to Uber’s ongoing takeover effort for German rival Delivery Hero: Delivery Hero disclosed a €33 per-share offer and Uber has raised its stake in Delivery Hero from about 25% to nearly 37% after buying shares from investor Aspex Management. The story was reported by manager magazin, citing the Financial Times and Reuters.

Lyft announces that Waymo rides are now available on the Lyft app in Nashville, marking a significant expansion of autonomous vehicle partnerships.
Lyft and United Push Mobility as New Media Channel
Lyft and United Airlines are promoting 'mobility media'—the idea that time spent in transit (rideshares and flights) is an underutilized advertising channel. The companies discussed an expanded partnership (allowing MileagePlus members to redeem United miles for Lyft rides), Lyft’s in-app ad opportunities (users spend ~24 minutes per ride), and United’s first-party data advantages from its 175 million annual flyers. United plans a full Starlink Wi‑Fi rollout across its fleet by 2027, while Lyft is expanding in Europe via recent acquisitions and pursuing AV partnerships. Both firms say they are working to standardize measurement, product features and advertiser workflows to establish mobility as a recognized media category in brand planning and budgets.
