- wpietri 3y agoThat is legitimate, but that's not the point here. The point is Uber's hubris. A hubris very useful in pumping up its stock price ahead of an IPO. If they had quietly planned to license it from the get-go, nobody would have mentioned it.
- ianlevesque 3y agoUber literally killed people trying to develop their own first. Tesla continues to do so. I wish everyone would license Waymo instead.
- vajrabum 3y agoAny reason to prefer Waymo over Cruise? I saw an driverless Cruise taxi in SF just the other day. And are they any other competitors still in this space worth watching?
- typon 3y agoThey had the Uber ATG group - they laid everyone off and gave up on their AV research. How is that cynical? That's a fact.
