Since Uber?s inception in 2009, the company has transformed the way we live by connecting over a billion riders to drivers in 450 cities and counting. In 2015, Uber opened the Advanced Technologies Group (ATG) Center in Pittsburgh to research and develop solutions for mapping, vehicle safety, and autonomous transportation. Pittsburgh?s long history of cutting-edge production technology and manufacturing the most essential machines of its age matched perfectly Uber?s desire to launch and build its first self-driving vehicle. This idea of marrying the past and future became the design inspiration behind ATG.
