- gtirloni 10y agoIs Waymo required to make a licensing deal? What would it be worth in $ at this point? Does Uber have deep pockets for _that_ much money at this point?
- tedivm 10y agoI don't believe they are required to make a deal. However, their parent company is a big investor in Uber, so they have some incentive not to drive the Uber into the ground.
- gingerbread-man 10y agoIt seems more likely that GV would get additional equity in exchange for the license.
- gingerbread-man 10y agoThis could be the next IBM PC license if Waymo owns the tech that all driverless cars need to operate. They don't need to make much money off Uber, they need to get their tech out there into production so they can refine it before their competitors can get to market.
