- freddie_mercury 9y agoThis is a popular current talking point but Uber is 9 years old and most people reckon autonomous services are at least another year or two out. Having human drivers for over a decade is not a "short term strategy" for most reasonable definitions of short term.
- IntronExon 9y agoI think we’re decades from real lvl 5 automation, not just a few years. Either way though, this study suggests that Uber stands to save relatively little per ride on automation. It would just appear that their business model is inherently unsustainable.
