Uber's self driving car has been spotted for the first time.
As this picture reveals, the firm is already testing an early version of its system, which is being developed with Carnegie Mellon University.
The firm hopes to develop a self driving taxi to take on autonomous car projects from Google, Apple and others.
It was spotted on the streets of Pittsburgh, where it has been revealed Uber has secured a massive warehouse to house the lab.
The firm is already working with Carnegie Mellon University on driverless cars.
The vehicle spotted by the Pittsburgh Business Times had the words 'Uber Advanced Technologies Center' on the side.
Uber confirmed the vehicle was part of its project.
'This vehicle is part of our early research efforts regarding mapping, safety and autonomy systems,' Uber spokeswoman Trina Smith said in an email.
It is believed the system installed on the roof contains sensors and cameras that can map nearby objects.
