Probably for the best. Right now Uber is NOT among the leaders in self-driving. So it would be better for them to buy or lease vehicles from those leaders than wait some additional years for their own project to be successful.

Yep, to the extent that I’m surprised Aurora is considering purchasing ATG at this point. I don’t know what they have to gain from such an acquisition - especially considering their head count (and associated cash burn) would triple after the acquisition.
