Uber Will Start Driverless Service In Pittsburgh--This Month
Later this month, Uber will offer the world's first ride-hailing service in Pittsburgh, using a test fleet of 100 Volvo XC90 SUVs. I admit that I didn't see it coming this fast. Only yesterday, I wrote about a new trial of self-driving minibuses in Helsinki, and it seemed pretty darn forward-looking at the time. But those vehicles are really slow, they ply the same little route repeatedly, and they stop at every stop. Today Uber is talking about driving to points specified by whoever jumps into the rear seat.
