Uber And Google: From Partners To Rivals

Google has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Uber through its venture capital arm and its chief legal officer, David Drummond, is on the Uber board of directors.

According to media reports, Google too is planning to launch its own ride-hailing service in conjunction with its driver-less car project.

An anonymous source quoted by The Wall Street Journal said that reports that Google was developing an app to rival Uber had been blown out of proportion.

The source said that a Google engineer had been testing an internal app that helps Google employees carpool to work and denied that the app was associated with the company's driver-less cars programme.
