It's a great Acquihire. Uber immediately gets all this self-driving expertise.
- linkregister 10y agoUber already has plenty with its ATC in Pittsburgh (the core engineers were hired from CMU's robotics lab). I'm guessing Otto has expertise specific to the trucking domain. At supposedly $680M, it seems like a high price.
- sf_rob 10y agoIt's former Google self-driving car engineers so they have a lot more than a few months of knowledge about the domain.
- huac 10y agoThe Bloomberg article claims that they left Google to bring their product to market more quickly.
- linkregister 10y agoOh right. Thanks for that.
