Many automakers are looking to directly supply and operate car services for autonmous cars - maybe Uber is trying to give autonomous cars a black-eye to delay anyone from entering the market by acting in a way that will increase regulation of all parties. That could give them more time to operate their current platform?
- brwr 10y agoUber doesn't stand to make any money by doing that. Drivers are a huge expense for Uber. Assuming they get these self driving cars with a bulk discount, the cost of not having to pay drivers would quickly offset the price of the cars. If anything, after hearing that Uber lost $800m in Q3, I'd say they want these self driving cars badly so they can finally become profitable.
