A consortium that includes SoftBank Group Corp,. is in late-stage talks to invest $1 billion or more into Uber Technologies Inc.'s self-driving vehicle unit, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the negotiations.
SoftBank's Vision Fund and other investors, including at least one unnamed automaker, would take a minority stake in the self-driving vehicle unit at a valuation of between $5 billion and $10 billion, the Journal said.
The talks are fluid and could still fall apart but should there be a deal, it could surface next month, the report said.
