If I was the CEO, instead of thinking i could pull off self-driving cars, I would have gone with some lease/buy/discount program with Tesla and Model 3s - incentivizing an electric fleet as much as possible.
I would have boosted the charging station capacity or invested in quick charger convenience areas.
I would have also invested in partnering quick quickbooks, to have accounting/expense tracking built in or stupid easy.
depreciating assets are normal, but leaving the world to fend for themselves on how to write that expense off was their big problem IMHO
- mandelbrotwurst 5y agoUber does have partnerships through which they offer expense tracking apps to their drivers.
- pwinnski 5y agoAs the article suggests, the CEO never actually thought they could pull off self-driving cars. That was part of the shell game that is Uber.
- shaftway 5y agoThey did have a lease/buy program. It was demonstrably worse than just leasing a vehicle directly (Uber would take a cut) and there were ugly questions around what happened if you stopped driving for Uber.
