Toyota hires entire staff of autonomous-vehicle firm
Looking to gain an edge in the auto industry's self-driving race, Toyota (NYSE:TM) has recruited the entire staff (16 employees) of Jaybridge Robotics, a small Massachusetts-based autonomous-vehicle company.
The move reflects a trend among auto industry companies to rapidly build their R&D skills by taking over small and specialized companies, or raiding a company's workforce.
Toyota last year pledged to invest $1B into artificial intelligence research, with a big focus on autonomous vehicles.
