Uber Parks Its Self-Driving Truck Project, Saying It Will Push For Autonomous Cars

8/01/2018 , , , , , , , , ,
Two years after Uber paid $680 million to buy the self-driving truck startup Otto, the company is folding that effort. In this photo from 2016, an Otto engineer sits behind the steering wheel of a self-driving, big-rig truck during a demonstration in San Francisco.

The move comes after Uber has spent roughly $925 million in recent years to jump-start its effort to create a viable line of self-driving freight trucks.
