I'm pretty sure they aren't partnering with CMU, but rather offering many senior scientists and faculty members lucrative salaries to leave academia and work for them. So the Cadillac IP still belongs to the university. In fact, that actually spun out into a separate company called Ottomatika (which has a licensing deal from CMU).
- Animats 12y agoThey are formally partnering with CMU. Here's the CMU press release. http://www.cmu.edu/news/stories/archives/2015/february/uber-partnership.html http://www.cmu.edu/news/stories/archives/2015/february/uber-... "Uber and Carnegie Mellon University are announcing today a strategic partnership that includes the creation of the Uber Advanced Technologies Center in Pittsburgh, near the CMU campus. ... The agreement also will include funding from Uber for faculty chairs and graduate fellowships."
