Uber is upgrading their technology to allow their consumers to rent self-driven cars as well. And if things go as planned, Mercedes-Benz was the first to announce that they will supply the cars on Uber’s network.
The company has already spent a huge budget for the new system so it is only a matter of time before it is ready for public use. According to reports, Uber is determined to launch self-driving cars all over the world so they have allotted a big budget for this project.
The company will not only have their own self-driving taxi units but will also be open for other auto firms to introduce their self-driving cars into their network.
Loyal riders are excited to hear that Mercedes-Benz is one of the first company to sign up for the project. An announcement from Daimler and Uber confirms the agreement of the two companies which states Daimler’s intention to supply and operate self-driven Mercedes cars for Uber.
Many are speculating that more auto companies will join Uber’s network in the future. Uber is a network that links people who need transportation from one place to another to drivers with their own cars to make it possible.
It allows anyone to book transportation, without the hassle of finding and hailing a taxi because Uber app will do it for you. It also gives the rider a sense of security as it gives them an idea how the driver is rated by its previous passengers.
And with their new technology, they may not even need to invest too much in their own brand of cars because many car companies will be interested in working with them. Starting with Mercedes-Benz which is a popular luxury car that many loyal riders would certainly love to use on their day to day commute.
