Thousands of items left in robotaxis

Uber found thousands of items abandoned in robotaxis over the past year, including dentures, an 'I Heart Hot Dads' bag, and a blue hat reading 'Emotional Support Human.' The Lost & Found Index, which tracks forgotten items for a decade, now highlights this new challenge in autonomous vehicles. While not millions, the volume is significant, indicating ongoing user behavior and operational gaps in robotaxi returns. This underscores that human interaction remains essential even in fully automated fleets.
