…run all of Uber’s self-driving efforts, which began in Pittsburgh in 2014 after Uber poached dozens of researchers and engineers from Carnegie Mellon University. It was reportedly Levandowski’s decision to rapidly expand those efforts into San Francisco at the end of 2016. In other news, Uber quietly dropped the name for its driverless truck unit, “Otto.” The change was made last month in the wake of a trademark infringement dispute with a similarly named Canadian company that markets its own robotic vehicle technology. Uber consolidated Otto’s activities under its Advanced Technologies Group, or Uber ATG, in April and “retired the…

…formed Feb. 1, 2016. Levandowski was spotted at Uber’s Pittsburgh office that same month, Recode says. Read: The Inaccuracy of the Term “Uber for Trucking” To put it lightly, that’s strikingly weird. In what’s supposedly a billion-dollar race to constructing efficient, safe self-driving vehicles, Levandowski was actively working for someone who was supposed to be a competitor? Why? Uber didn’t officially purchase Otto until August 2016. A more detailed timeline of the situation has been compiled here. But overall, the case has the potential to derail Uber’s self-driving endeavor, and soon, if a federal judge overseeing the case agrees that…

…University. The company recently announced plans to expand its Pittsburgh facility to include a test track for driverless cars. “Uber isn’t valued at more than $50 billion because it’s a ‘taxi app,’ but because investors see Uber as a logistics company.” - Adrian Gonzalez, Adelante SCM Still, purchasing a fleet of cars, especially one of such size, has not been part of Uber’s playbook so far. The company’s business model relies heavily on drivers using their own personal vehicles, or ones leased from for-hire vehicle companies. If Uber buys a fleet of cars, its claims of being a technology company…
