It makes me wonder if those yellow cabs are just stuffed full of hard drives to store all their historic data too. None of that data is useful or necessary. I would love to see any “insight” that would beat the knowledge of a basically competent cabbie on where and when people need rides. Uber just has lots of investor funny money that they want to spend to make it look like technology has something to do with their business when they are actually just a marketing and booking engine for independent taxi operators. Investors just get more excited and start throwing “internet money” your way if you brag about things like amount of data and engineers.
