Do they fully instrument their drivers vehicles? I'd imagine a lot of sensor data is needed for self-driving cars.

- adaisadais 6y agoNo, but they have a good understanding on routes and areas with high traffic. That data is going to be worth a fortune for the first fully autonomous taxi service.
- luckydata 6y agoI don't think so tbh. Time will tell.
- bagacrap 6y agoAll that routing data (and much more) is also funnelled to Google via Maps/Waze and, to a lesser extent, Apple or other companies with map apps. So I don't think Lyft or Uber have a competitive advantage here, even if the routing data is useful absent full instrumentation. Plus, full self driving seems a bit like a nuclear bomb, by which I mean second place in that race might be worth nothing.
