A recent report from the Information details internal turmoil at Uber surrounding the company’s $2.5 billion investment in self-driving cars, which has yet to produce any usable products.
A report from The Information titled “Infighting, ‘Busywork,’ Missed Warnings: How Uber Wasted $2.5 Billion on Self-Driving Cars,” outlines how Uber invested billions of dollars to develop self-driving cars yet is nowhere near ready to launch an autonomous vehicle that can reliably drive for any length of time.
Uber’s Advanced Technologies Group, the division focusing on self-driving vehicles, has faced issues of infighting and setbacks according to the Information. This has lead to fears that rival autonomous vehicle makers like Google’s Waymo and Apple’s self-driving division may soon outpace Uber’s progress.
