Uber may be close to waving the white flag on its autonomous driving ambitions.
The ride-hail giant is reportedly in talks to sell its Advance Technologies Group — which has been beset by infighting and setbacks — to self-driving car startup Aurora.
The talks have been ongoing since October, TechCrunch reports, though there is no certainty a deal will be reached. Uber is also considering taking a stake in the new company if Aurora takes over ATG.
Just last year, Uber’s ATG had raised $1 billion at a $7.25 billion valuation. But the business arm has struggled to make meaningful advances, and faces intense competition from Alphabet-owned Waymo and Apple’s autonomous vehicle efforts.
