AFAIK they gave up on doing self-driving themselves a while ago. I'm sure they are still hoping to be able to get rid of human drivers somehow.

- trollbridge 5mo agoIf they didn’t have human drivers, they’d have one less human to exploit per ride.
- SoftTalker 5mo agoThat's true, I guess possibly they figured out that humans using their own vehicles turn out to be cheaper than contracting or owning self-driving vehicles.
- trollbridge 5mo agoUber is regularly offering 50¢/mile trips now (which they charge significantly more than that to the rider for). There's no way an autonomous vehicle is going to get operating costs that low anytime soon.
- gottorf 5mo agoConsidering the IRS mileage rate is 72.5 cents per mile, sounds like there's no way any kind of vehicle is going to get operating costs that low!
