Uber shuts down self-driving truck program, leaving questions about Uber Freight's future

Truckers everywhere can rejoice. Uber's self-driving trucks have been put out of service.

According to Eric Meyhofer, Head of Uber Advanced Technologies Group, “We’ve decided to stop development on our self-driving truck program and move forward exclusively with cars. We recently took the important step of returning to public roads in Pittsburgh, and as we look to continue that momentum, we believe having our entire team’s energy and expertise focused on this effort is the best path forward.”
