Uber is looking for engineers for autonomous car
While the head of Lyft is denying unmanned vehicles , Uber, the world's largest taxi search and taxi service, hires engineers in the fields of robotics, machine learning, communications, traffic simulation, vehicle testing, hardware development and software.
In February 2015, Uber, in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University, opened a research center in Pittsburgh. The list of vacancies in this center has been updated: nineteen new positions have been opened. The center is looking for specialists in robotics, computer vision, the development of hardware platforms and software, traffic simulation, engineers with knowledge of modern automotive electronics and diagnostics. It is not yet clear whether Uber will develop its own autonomous vehicle, or whether it will work on the autopilot system and merge with the existing car manufacturer.
Creating a platform for an unmanned vehicle can take years. At the same time, Uber will have to compete with GM, BMW, Toyota, Google and other developers, so some experts are confident that Uber will join one of the automakers. The emergence of a new player in the field of the structure of robotic cars, especially having considerable financial capabilities, can bring the era of unmanned vehicles closer.

Uber head tweet Travis Kalanik, made the head of uber, frustrated drivers using the service to find customers. Later, Kalanik clarified: “Look, this is the path the world goes. If Uber does not follow him, it does not mean that there will be another way. The world is not always beautiful. ” The position of the head of Lyft Logan Green goes counter : the mission of Lyft is to make the possession of vehicles unnecessary, that is, to transfer everyone to a taxi, while the robotic cars will not replace drivers.
Ilon Mask is confident that in twenty years, cars will switch to autonomous control.
