Uber launches global map project to pave the way for driverless teams

According to the "Atlantic Monthly" report, Uber will invest 500 million US dollars to build its own map project, on the one hand is intended to get rid of dependence on Google Maps, on the other hand is paving the way for its driverless car project.

For passengers and drivers, if Uberâ€™s maps are powerful enough, they can often improve navigation and accessibility and help improve services. Uber has had a lot of moves in driverless cars recently. A map that knows exactly where they are in real time is undoubtedly an important part of driverless cars. Uberâ€™s new plan is to first collect a street view map of Mexico and lay a foundation for the construction of an unmanned vehicle fleet. Its ultimate goal is to replace the manual fleet with a fleet of driverless vehicles. Currently, third-party map applications do not seem to satisfy them. Demand.

On the other hand, in the entire industry, the vast majority of companies that are working in the field of driverless vehicles are working on streetscape mapping. Google and Apple already have their own maps, and Tesla is developing maps to improve the performance of the autopilot system. Last year, Uber tried to acquire Nokia's mapping software. As a result, German automakers seized the opportunity to see the importance of maps to automakers.

To build its own map system, in early 2015, Uber once stole 40 engineers and robotics experts from Carnegie Mellon University. Later it bought the mapping software company deCarta and purchased Microsoft's drawing technology to reduce dependence on Google and Apple. At the same time, Uber and DigitalGlobe signed an agreement to use their high-resolution maps. In May of this year, Uber announced that it will begin testing auto-pilot cars and will send a hybrid Ford Fusion to public roads in Pittsburgh. Uber official said that the task of that car is to "draw a streetscape map."

Judging from the current situation, Uber's Mexican streetscape mapping project is just the beginning. Uber vice president Brian McClendon mentioned that the project will eventually be extended to all over the world, especially its 450 core business cities.
