Uber is getting its own electric car
Fox News
Uber is teaming up with electric vehicle startup Arrival to develop an electric car for the ride-hailing service. The companies hope to have it in production by 2023.
Arrival has developed an electric "skateboard" platform that can be used with a variety of vehicle types. Its first models have been buses and delivery vans, the latter of which Arrival investor UPS has ordered 10,000 of. Details on the Uber car have not been revealed and it remains under development, but the company said driver and passenger comfort are top priorities and a rendering of it depicts a pod-like vehicle with a roomy back seat area. No mention was made about any autonomous driving capability. Uber recently ended in-house development of self-driving technology and has refocused on becoming an all-electric service in the U.S. and U.K. by 2030.More Related News
