Driverless ride sharing isn’t coming, in a meaningful way*, in the next ten years, I’m willing to bet my house on that.
Meaningful such that it actually delivers monetarily
- tjpaudio 7y agoWhile I would agree with you, driverless tech is in fact the reason behind the valuation and balance sheet deficit. No large investors at this point think they are going to get a dividend paying profitable commodity business. *edit for grammar
- rand0mthought 7y agoDo you plan to short UBER on amount of your house cost?
- idlewords 7y agoThat would be a bet on both rational markets and lack of driverless technology. That's a very different bet.

- leesec 7y agoWe absolutely can make some bets if you are serious.
- macspoofing 7y ago>Driverless ride sharing isn’t coming, in a meaningful way*, in the next ten years, I’m willing to bet my house on that. You'll have to expand on 'meaningful'. I can see driverless tech being used in specific use-cases between specific locations along controlled or established routes (example, moving cargo between a seaport and the train depot). I don't see driverless being available as a general purpose consumer vehicle that you can summon to pick up your buddy and drive back to your work.
- googlemike 7y agoHappy to take that bet. How should we do it?
- hoschicz 7y agoDefine "delivers monetarily" and I might be willing to take the other side of the bet. What about Waymo in the Phoenix area? Yes, that's a limited and perfect area, but still, it works very well there.
