Uber isn't going anywhere. Investors may take a short-term hit riding this wave of bad PR, but there's far too much machinery that will continue to push Kalanick's agenda forward.
This thread is chock full of wishful thinking, but the fact of the matter is the vast majority of Uber's users just want to get somewhere and don't care how the company is being run.
- ntelson1s 10y agoMost of the expressed opinions here do come from a bit of wishful thinking, but I think you're ignoring that Uber doesn't exactly have a monopoly. The service they offer already has competition and doesn't exactly require an insane technical expertise. Self-driving was a means to providing that after they've already expanded. So far only massive injections of cash have been the fuel behind their massive expansion success. Without self-driving tech, they lose the race to the monopoly they wanted as an end goal and at best need to restart and double down on their losses without leading the industry anymore... or let it burn.
