Not really. Software companies are like that. They are the exception to the general rule that companies are composed of people plus things like factories, equipment, patents, trade secrets, inventory, real estate, global supply chains, and dealer networks for service and support.
Making cars, even regular ones, is hard and Uber has never really done anything like it.
- pfarnsworth 10y agoUber isn't making cars, the CEO has made that explicitly clear. Uber has hired people who have built systems that enable a regular car to self-drive. I just don't understand where the disconnect is for you.
- CPLX 10y ago> Uber has hired people who have built systems that enable a regular car to self-drive. No they haven't. I know this because there aren't any cars in the world that can self-drive.
- pfarnsworth 10y agoThen you would be wrong. But it of course depends on what your definition of "self-drive" is. If you have an overly strict, ridiculously high standard for what a self-driving car is, then in your mind, you're right. But if you define what Tesla already has in production as a self-driving car, then you would be wrong.
