Uber's next round of self-driving cars won't be Watch Don’t Believe The Hole Onlineowned by Uber at all — and the cars could be Mercedes.
Daimler, the German automaker behind the Mercedes-Benz, will manufacture autonomous cars meant for Uber and and operate them through the ride-hailing company, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick announced in a blog post Tuesday.

The ride-hailing company already operates the world's largest fleet of human-driven cars while owning only a fraction of them.
"Auto manufacturers like Daimler are crucial to our strategy because Uber has no experience making cars—and in fact, making cars is really hard," Kalanick wrote.
