Ride-share provider Uber Technologies Inc. is setting up an advanced technologies center in Pittsburgh and says it will work closely with Carnegie Mellon University there to develop mapping, vehicle safety and autonomous technologies.
The partnership's R&D objectives appear to put Uber in competition on driverless cars with one of its big investors, Google Inc. Uber's smartphone-based car-calling service is integrated directly into the Google Maps smarphone app.
The Wall Street Journal notes it has been widely assumed that Google and Uber would eventually partner to bring Google's driverless car system to market.
But Uber's Carnegie Mellon announcement on Monday came as Bloomberg News reported that Google is readying plans to launch its own car-hailing service.
