Uber CEO touts ‘great’ Toyota talks on autonomous cars


This ruling will not change things in most EU countries where we already operate under transportation law. However, millions of Europeans are still prevented from using apps like ours, Uber said.

TOKYO: Dara Khosrowshahi, on his first trip to Asia as chief executive officer of Uber Technologies Inc, spent some quality time with his counterpart at the world’s largest carmaker.

Khosrowshahi posted a photo on Twitter of him and Toyota Motor Corp president Akio Toyoda, along with executive vice-president Shigeki Tomoyama at the automaker’s headquarters. The Uber CEO is smiling and holding a black baseball bat, while Toyoda laughs at his side. “Having fun with Akio-San and Tomoyama-San @ToyotaMotorCorpHQ,” he wrote. “Great discussions about growing our #autonomous partnership and lessons 4 me in building a great culture. And yep, those are Ichiro’s bats.”
