I know Cruise is a different company.
As for selling off their self-driving division, I don't get how that's a failure or giving up, given that the article lists an explicit 400M investment. The article (rightly) points out that Uber doesn't need to own self driving to benefit from it, and given that it's a hard problem, they spun it out into its own company that can receive independent funding.
- cartoonworld 5y agoMaybe you can just chalk "failure" up as a superlative regarding the doe eyed gushing public perception of this developing technology.
- staticassertion 5y agoSure, that would be reasonable, though the two posts citing failure seem to be talking much more explicitly about the attempts - "all these efforts have failed", "gave up". If it's "people expected this to already be done and it isn't" yeah sure, of course.
