Uber deploys self-driving cars for data collection
The Verge·
Uber is reintroducing its own autonomous vehicles, not for passenger service, but to gather crucial data for its robotaxi partners. The initiative, starting with a single Hyundai Ioniq 5, will equip vehicles with advanced sensors like lidar and radar. This move marks a cautious return to autonomous technology following a fatal incident in 2020. By focusing on data collection, Uber aims to support its partners' development while mitigating risks associated with fully autonomous ride-hailing operations. The company is leveraging its AV Lab project to advance the field responsibly.
