The company, which the accompaniment of loud protests, enter new markets, has just bought a digital navigation technology from Microsoft and took over 100 employees from Redmond.
So far Uber benefited from Google Maps, which, moreover, is a shareholder of the company, but for some time now openly talked about the fact that the company intends to develop its own navigation system. It has been speculated, however, that interest is the takeover of the map HERE.
Uber is one of the most valuable start-ups in the world and definitely one of the most hated companies in the world – protests against it are not limited to posts on Facebook, and they come out on the streets. Just like less than a week ago in Paris. Uber, despite the opposition of the French authorities, entered the local market, and enraged taxi drivers greeted him with metal sticks.
But it seems that none of these obstacles are not able to stop the expansion of Uber. Takeover map Micorosoftu testifies to the fact that the company has very ambitious plans and implements them regardless of the costs. Even the financial – Uber losses, according to information provided by Bloomberg, exceed its revenues, which, however, not in the least bothered investors.
