Uber announced Monday it was selling its self-driving unit, Advanced Technologies Group, to Aurora Innovation, but CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said he doesn't believe the company is giving up its self-driving play. "What's crucial is for us to have access to the very best and leading autonomous technology out there," Khosrowshahi said on CNBC's "Squawk Box." "What we want to make sure is as that technology is developed, it's developed for Uber network and is available for the Uber network at scale." As part of the deal, Khosrowshahi will join the Aurora's board, and the ride-sharing giant will invest $400 million into the company. "What this deal does is essentially bring two leading teams together in the autonomous space," Khosrowshahi said.

SAN RAMON, Calif. – Uber is selling off its autonomous vehicles development arm as the ride-hailing company slims down after its revenues were pummeled by the coronavirus pandemic. Self-driving vehicle technology company Aurora will acquire the employees and technology behind Uber's Advanced Technologies Group in an stock transaction, the companies said Monday. Uber will also invest $400 million into Aurora, and Uber's CEO Dara Khosrowshahi will join Aurora's board of directors. After the transaction, Aurora will be worth $10 billion and Uber will hold 26% stake in the company, Aurora CEO Chris Urmson said in an interview. San Francisco-based Uber will lose a critical piece of its company after the pandemic cut into its finances by suppressing demand for shared rides.

The technology sector's strong run since its March lows reminds Benchmark's Bill Gurley of the 1999 tech boom that preceded the dot-com bubble burst, the investor told CNBC. "There is certainly what I would call a highly speculative nature to the markets today, a willingness to take on risks, a willingness to get excited about projects that may be five or 10 years in the future, that we haven't seen since the '99 time frame," Gurley said Friday on "Squawk Alley." Investors had been pushing the markets to new highs since stay-at-home orders in March, led by mega-cap technology, though recently have pared back some of those gains. Some on Wall Street have voiced their concerns that the run bears resemblance to the bubble, pumped by easy capital, market confidence and pure speculation, that burst in 2000. Barclays, for example, said in a note last month that stock valuations were at their 2000 peaks, and downgraded the FANMAG sector (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Microsoft, Apple and Alphabet/Google) to market weight.

Former Uber Technologies CEO and co-founder Travis Kalanick walks on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange during the company's IPO May 10, 2019. Uber's former CEO Travis Kalanick went on a selling spree late last year, dumping almost all of his shares in the ride-hailing company between November and December. Had Kalanick held onto his shares, they'd be worth $1.2 billion more today than they were when he divested. Kalanick was ousted as Uber's CEO in 2017 after a litany of concerns emerged surrounding the company's culture and workplace environment and its treatment of drivers and riders. Dara Khosrowshahi, the former Expedia CEO who succeeded Kalanick, said in December that he was "enormously grateful for Travis' vision and tenacity while building Uber."

Dara Khosrowshahi, who was brought in as Uber CEO to clean-up co-founder Travis Kalanick's mess, needs to prove the company can still innovate, early Uber investor Bradley Tusk told CNBC on Monday. "Some of what Travis represented in innovation, change and intensity is lacking at the company now, and the stock is clearly reflecting that." Since its New York Stock Exchange debut in May, Uber has more than 10% from its initial public offering price of $45 per share. However, Wall Street remains skeptical after Uber on Thursday reported a per-share loss of $4.72, which was much worse than expected. "Fundamentally, for the company to really be profitable, it can't be just Uber Eats, it can't just be ride-share," Tusk said.
