Uber revealed on Wednesday a prototype car that it plans to use to scoop up real-world driving data that can be used by its growing list of autonomous vehicle partners such as Avride, Waymo, and WeRide.<\/p>\n

The vehicle is not some radical design. Rather, it\u2019s a Hyundai Ioniq 5 fitted with an incredible number of sensors on the top and sides, as the company first told TechCrunch back in January. The sensor-laden vehicle may not look particularly groundbreaking, but it does mark a few milestones for the company. <\/p>\n

This is the first vehicle Uber has assembled itself (with help from a partner) since the company sold its autonomous vehicle division to Aurora in 2020. It also represents progress on Uber\u2019s new AV Labs division, which launched earlier this year to use sensor-equipped Uber cars to collect and then share data with its 30-and-counting autonomous vehicle technology<\/a> partners.<\/p>\n

Uber said Wednesday that it plans to roll out 500 of these kitted-out Hyundai EVs globally this year. That fleet will be able to collect \u201c2 million miles per month of high-fidelity data\u201d for robotaxis. Uber expects 50 of these vehicles to be on the road by the summer.<\/p>\n

The Ioniqs are fitted with 14 cameras, eight solid-state lidar sensors, and nine radars through a partnership with Roush Performance, which will handle the vehicle retrofits. All of that data will be routed through Nvidia\u2019s Dual Drive Thor autonomous vehicle computer. Uber app<\/a>ears open to changing that sensor suite, noting that it will continue to update it as its partners\u2019 needs evolve. <\/p>\n

Uber said its aim is to develop the world\u2019s most geographically diverse set of training data specifically geared towards autonomous driving. If successful, this dataset will give its AV partners a 360-degree, time synchronized stitched view that can be used to train self-driving software.<\/p>\n

The company already has a head start. Uber told TechCrunch it has collected data from a fleet of thousands of specially-equipped vehicles in dozens of cities. The company also captured data from hundreds of Lucid Air vehicles operating in the U.S. and Europe over the past two years. <\/p>\n

Uber\u2019s AV Labs division is analyzing these two tranches of data and is preparing to collect even more with its modified Ioniq 5 vehicles, which will be used by its fleet partners. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
