As an Uber employee, yes we are going through a rough patch and we are doing a lot of bloodletting right now internally, but as a company I think we will emerge much better and much more impassioned. If you saw the numbers we see, you wouldn't be so quick to predict our death. And no, I'm not going to leak anything, go ask NYT who seems to have their own personal leak, whom I hope gets caught and fired.
In terms of self-driving cars I'm not holding my breath. I think that's a decade away at least, the only reason why Uber cares is because if we don't have a foothold in that race, it's an existential problem for us. But all it will take is one terrible self-driving car tragedy to push back all research by 20 years due. I really hope something like that never happens but with all these players doing self-driving cars who can tell what will happen in the future.

- Neliquat 10y agoWow, thought you were exaggerating but all his comments are "as an uber employee" spins, or comments downvoted to oblivion that have been redacted. Is there any guidance from HN on corporate spin (aka shill) accounts, or could this just be considered an overly enthusiastic employees legit opinion?
- employee8000 10y agoThis is a ridiculous statement. Would you prefer I don't announce myself as an Uber employee when talking about Uber?
