Self-driving Ubers could still be many years away, says research head
MONTREAL — The head of Uber’s new self-driving vehicle lab says a viable, on-demand autonomous commercial transportation service remains a long-term goal.
“Having self-driving cars at a smaller scale, on a small set of roads, we are fairly close,” Raquel Urtasun said Tuesday after addressing a Deep Learning Summit in Montreal
“To see at an Uber scale we are far.”
She said much work remains to ensure the technology functions in all possible conditions and locations.
