That is some seriously high valuation given Uber's current (and even projected) numbers. But I understand what Google is trying to do. I would agree that the self driving car business will take a lot longer than we think even in places like Silicon Valley. Still it is a plausible future although I believe people will still like taking taxis. Disclaimer: I will be working for Hailo soon, the London start-up which is Uber's competitor. I believe both companies have their strengths and tackle different bands of the same market.
