Uber sells self-driving unit Uber ATG in deal that will push Aurora's valuation to $10B https://t.co/Ib5vbz19m6 via @techcrunch
— Dídac (@DidacLee) December 7, 2020
Uberは、Uber ATGの株86.2%と$400MでAuroraの26%のシェアを取得。Uber ATGの残りの株を持っていた、トヨタ、デンソー、ソフトバンクは梯子を外された形で、少数株主に(3社合わせて3.3%)。 #メルマガのネタhttps://t.co/nO82j12KrA

If I'm doing the math right, Uber is taking a ~$4B loss in equity value on Uber ATG.

From 86% of Uber ATG (worth $6.2B) to 26% of Aurora after a $400M investment (worth $2.6B)https://t.co/gpxCkHJvy6
Uber ATG selling to Aurora... the first Pittsburgh tech decacorn!

Also seemingly a realization to Uber that self-driving taxis are further away than they once seemed and it doesn't make sense for them to invest the R&D.https://t.co/bOKDERfdgV
Uber's shutting down the AV part of its store: they "sold" the division to a startup called Aurora, but the "sale" involves Uber "investing" $400,000,000 in Aurora. That is, they've paid someone else to take this bit of set-dressing off their hands.https://t.co/TLaKlQbneF

I’m old enough to remember how, way back in the day, if you criticized all of the news about self-driving cars as mainly being hype you’d get accused of being a technophobic Luddite.

For years, I've thought that liability questions would sink robot cars. Without some sweeping blanket waiver, hard to see how these deadly machines will work. https://t.co/k86pWHWsuu

After so many years of promising wild innovation to make its valuation make any sense, the only disruption Uber can claim is its ability to skirt regulation and underpay its workers https://t.co/SP7XqzEAwi

우버가 자율주행 부문인 ATG를 스타트업 오로라에 매각. 우버는 대신 오로라의 지분 26%를 받고 또 400M을 투자. 이 딜로 오로라의 밸류는 10B정도가 된다고. https://t.co/c9Uycui7TU 현대차는 지난해 6월에 오로라에 240억정도를 투자했었는데 투자수익이 벌써 상당할 듯.
