I thought the general plan for ride-hailing companies was to exploit human drivers while losing piles of money in the hope that AI would eventually replace humans and make the whole venture profitable. I haven't heard anything about Sony having a self-driving car division, so what's their plan?

They are actually partnering up with already existing taxi companies. They are not employing regular people

Taxi companies are profitable, and it's normal for big Japanese companies to have diverse business lines (Mitsubishi mining, Nissan insurance...)
