Uber ATG upgrades its autonomous truck test fleet with new tech | TechCrunch

Uber’s Advanced Technologies Group has a new version of its testing transport truck for autonomous tech. The new model features an updated technology stack, including a 64-channel spinning #LiDAR array, which is something never used previously on any of the former #Otto’s test trucks.

The Uber ATG truck notably drops all Otto branding, as you can see, since Uber retired that name in May following a trademark dispute raised by Canada’s Otto Motors, and after the #self-driving trucking company Uber acquired became the impetus for a suit by Alphabet’s #Waymo contesting that Otto execs took confidential company info when they departed Google.
