Wow, great news for not just the strip but the city and region as well.

When it opens its new Advanced Technologies Center in the Strip next year, Uber Technologies Inc. expects to staff it with 400 employees.


As Uber continues to ramp up its plans to establish a research center in Pittsburgh to develop autonomous vehicles, the company’s hiring expectations came to light at a Nov. 3 Pittsburgh City Council committee meeting at which the building redevelopment received a preliminary vote of approval for its sewage facility plan.

Craig Dunham, the project manager for the new center at 100 32nd St. who is also part of the building's ownership, told the council members of Uber’s plans as part of the process of getting approval from council. Council is expected to hold a final vote on the matter next week.

“At its opening in April in this upcoming year, we expect 400 people to be in that building,” he said. “Almost all of those are new employees to the city of Pittsburgh coming from all over the world.”
Uber struck a long-term deal to lease the property in May.

Is an ''autonomous'' vehicle a self-driving car?

Technically, "automobile" would work perfectly well as a term for a self-driving car.
