(Original title: Uber Brian Zajac took over the autopilot team banner)
[TechWeb Report] Anthony Levandowski, former project leader of Uber's autopilot business hardware, allegedly stole a large amount of confidential content from Google’s Waymo, including as many as 14,000 files including Lidar, and Google accuses him of bringing the file to Hands of competitors. Uber dismissed Anthony Levandowski for this reason last week. Now Uber has finally confirmed that Brian Zajac will succeed the autopilot project leader and take over all related work.
The new leader, Brian Zajac, has always been working on the team. Since joining the Uber Autopilot team in 2015, he has become a veteran. He had previously developed robot systems for the US military and Shell Oil.
With the dismissal of the previous Anthony Levandowski, which triggered a series of changes at the top, the management of the Uber Autopilot team was faced with restructuring, which had a worse effect on Uber, who was willing to perform poorly.
It should be noted that although Uber’s development in the field of automated driving has been rapid in recent years, the overall performance has been unsatisfactory. According to previous test papers published by foreign media, Uber’s manual intervention rate for automatic driving tests is too high, far exceeding that of other brands. Not to mention Google's Waymo company, compared with Mercedes-Benz and other automatic driving test scores are also much worse. Google’s huge losses in recent days, and the overall operating conditions are not good. Uber’s automatic driving has not been much time since recent continuous tests have encountered car accidents and even violated traffic rules. If it is not possible to achieve rapid growth, I’m afraid that in the future Days will be difficult.
