I legitimately thought this was parody at first. Uber did the hard work just for Google to swoop in with its self driving cars? I mean, I guess it's hard to get VCs to subsidize rides to the tune of billions of dollars, but it's not technically challenging, compared to something like self driving cars which is straight out of science fiction.
