I have no idea what's going on internally at Uber ATG, but they weren't doing well before the killing of Elaine Herzberg. There was a pattern amongst Autonomous driving outfits funded by well-heeled and impatient companies jumping in to the game late, going balls-to-the-wall, and mostly just wasting a lot of cash and resources on a gigantic clusterfuck. We can include Apple, Baidu and Uber in this category. Baidu has since done a reboot. I have no idea where Apple is at in terms of tangible progress, and then there's Uber.
The companies doing well are Waymo, Cruise, and Zoox, and one thing common to all three of these is that they started small a few talented people and scaled up in stages when it appropriate.
A testament to the whole 'just because 1 woman can make a baby in 9 months doesn't mean 9 women can make a baby in 1 month' analogy.
