ByteDance, the company behind TikTok, is reportedly making moves in the autonomous car race. Yes, you read that right. No, this isn't a fever dream. The same company that is behind the app that controls the algorithm behind all your favorite viral videos is reportedly eyeing self-driving cars. 

 

News of the pivot comes from 36kr which cites several unnamed "insider" sources who confirmed that ByteDance "is exploring entry into the autonomous driving sector." The outlet reports that ByteDance is looking into the business of "unmanned logistics," according to one source.
