Please, this is all hype to capture investors. What does Uber have other than money that gives them an advantage in self driving cars? Having users doesn't matter either. Google could add self driving taxi summoning to Google Maps overnight and we'd all be using it.
- linkregister 10y agoOn my Android phone, when I look up directions for something, it shows something like this in Google Maps: Drive | 10 minutes Bus | 35 minutes Walk | 75 minutes Bike | 25 minutes UberX | 13 minutes This could be some add-in from having the Uber app installed; I have Lyft installed as well and it doesn't appear. I agree that this "like running water" tag line is a bit over the top.
