Summary

Uber's 10th annual Lost & Found Index reveals the quirky items passengers leave behind in vehicles, from mundane phones and laptops to unusual objects like live fish, ankle monitors, and live butterflies. This year's report adds a new dimension: items forgotten in robotaxis, highlighting that even autonomous vehicles require human intervention for lost property retrieval. Thousands of items have already been left in driverless cars, showing that human forgetfulness persists regardless of who — or what — is driving.
