Uber Launches Self-Driving Pilot Program In Pittsburgh
Wednesday, September 14th, 2016 Auto TechnologyWhen Pittsburgh wakes up on Wednesday morning, some residents will have the choice of going about their day in an Uber that drives itself. The launch of Uber’s self-driving pilot program marks the public unveiling of the company’s secretive work in autonomous vehicles and the first time self-driving cars have been so freely available to the U.S. public.

The aggressive San Francisco-based startup has already shaken up the world’s taxi services, earning a valuation of $68 billion.
