Episode notes
Uber’s back in the self-driving game—not building cars, but gathering data like never before. They’ve unveiled a high-tech prototype: a Hyundai Ioniq five packed with 14 cameras, 8 lidar sensors, and 9 radars, retrofitted by Roush Performance. Powered by Nvidia’s AV computer, these vehicles will hit the road globally in droves—500 units this year, aiming for 2 million miles of data monthly. Part of Uber’s newly launched AV Labs, this initiative resurrects their hands-on data-gathering after selling off their self-driving unit in 2020. Their goal? To build the most diverse, synchronized driving dataset possible, fueling partner companies’ AI training. Already armed with data from thousands of vehicles—including Lucid Airs—they’re accelerating autonomous tech by turning real-world chaos into training gold.
