Uber will stop it’s autonomous truck development to concentrate on self-driving cars.
Two years ago, Uber bought Otto which develops self-driving technology for trucks.
Uber is said to have paid $680 million for Otto which was started by an ex-Waymo engineer who, Waymo alleged, had stolen 14,000 documents from Waymo.
That precipitated a bitter lawsuit between Waymo and Uber which ended, earlier this year, with Uber apologising to Waymo and paying them $245 million.
