Lior Ron is a 42-year-old Israeli-born businessman, who in 2016 along with Anthony Levandowski and some others co-founded Otto, a self-driving truck company.
Both Lior and Anthony went to work at Uber after Uber bought Otto in 2016.
But then Anthony was fired from Uber after a dustup wherein the executive was accused of stealing Google’s self-driving car trade secrets for use in Otto’s technology..
Ron jumped from Uber after Uber paid Google parent company Alphabet $245 million to settle the dispute.
Well, in 2019 Ron is back at Uber Freight, now that Uber has finally closed the deal for Otto Trucking that is currently operating as a stand-alone entity as part of the Uber firmament.
In the USA, Uber Freight connects 48 states and reportedly generates more than $125 million in quarterly revenues.
“We fundamentally believe there’s a new era of opportunity in logistics,” Ron said.
“Technology streamlines things, connects things and that builds trust in physical networks.”
History & summer magic with a master. Here we take a sentimental journey with REG Davies the greatest aviation historian. Ron sat in the Lindbergh Chair at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C. for more than 50 years. Along the way he authored more than 38 books on everything from airline histories to the Berlin Airlift. These recordings will continue during 2019.
