Uber said that it's still early days for the company's new technology, but it is aligned with its mission is to "make transportation as reliable as running water -- everywhere and for everyone."
The news comes 15 months after Uber opened up its Advanced Technologies Center in Pittsburgh, in partnership with Carnegie Mellon, to work on developing self-driving capabilities.
In April, the company announced that it had snagged top Ford executive Sherif Marakby to serve as vice president of global vehicle programs at its Advanced Technologies Center.
Uber -- which is valued at $62.5 billion -- is competing with the likes of Google (GOOG), Tesla (TSLA), Apple (AAPL, Tech30) and GM (GM) in its plan to make autonomous driving a reality.
