Uber aims to become data supplier for autonomous driving ecosystem - AV Labs
Uber is aiming to become a platform that supplies data to autonomous driving companies by fitting sensors to vehicles driven by its regular drivers, TechCrunch reported on May 2. Uber CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga said the plan extends the AV Labs programme announced in January. AV Labs currently uses a small number of sensor-equipped vehicles operated by Uber. Uber says its global driver base could enable data collection at a scale autonomous driving firms cannot build alone.
