How is this furthering Uber's agenda and position as a company?
- loorinm 9y agoMany possibilities: - gain the remainder of users who perhaps can afford a bike ride but not an uber to their destination - gather bike-specific data which could immensely improve safety for autonomous vehicles - improve their horrible image by aligning themselves with environmentally-friendly and traffic-alleviating transit - bikes are fully automated and require no troublesome humans to keep the system going. Uber drivers a big hassle for Uber. - optimizing a bike rental system is a training ground for running an autonomous car rental system Just off the top of my head..
- icebraining 9y agoI'd say they want to be synonymous with Transportation - to train people to instinctively open the Uber app when they need to go somewhere.
