Uber aims to catch up with Google in the production of self-driving cars. The taxi-service company is on the verge of replacing over one million drivers with computers – which is quite unfortunate for those who make a living from being Uber drivers, thousands of young, middle aged Nigerian men inclusive. Uber is said to have been working on self-driving cars since 2015. In an interview with Bloomberg, Travis Kalanick, CEO of Uber revealed that the company is preparing to add self-driving cars to its fleet of active drivers in Pittsburgh as early as this month. “The company will deploy around 100 modified Volvo XC90s outfitted with self-driving equipment. Each vehicle will be staffed by one engineer, who can take the wheel as/when needed, and a co-pilot to observe and take notes. “There will also be a “liquid-cooled” computer sitting in the trunk recording trip and map data.” Customers will make requests from their phones through Uber’s app and will be paired with a driverless car, as is presently being done. https://lifestyle.thecable.ng/uber-self-driving-nigeria-pittsburgh/ 2 Likes 1 Share |

Please, if you live in Benin City and your father left the house today putting on a blue shirt, white tie, black trouser, in a black toyota prado with Edo State plate number. Tell your mum he cheated on her today. He gave a girl lift close to me and refused to Epp me. Thank you . 88 Likes 11 Shares |

Self driven car? Hope not to be tested in Nigeria first. Any compelling benefits of a car without a driver? The whole thing looks like show off of technology. 3 Likes |
