Uber knows this. They just did not have the money or tech Alphabet could bring to bear.

- Zigurd 2y agoYes, wear: Robotaxis will probably go farther in a day than full-time rideshare drivers, maybe by 2X or more. Plus sensors and on-board compute will advance quickly. Waymo is on their 6th generation. 10 sets of tires in that time would not be surprising. That many miles also bumps up against battery lifespan.
