- MarkPNeyer 12y agothe dude totally dismisses driverless cars as something that uber could do 'because it hasn't succeeded yet.' they've already spun up 'on demand' services for ice cream, pedi-cabs, mariachi bands, kittens... multiple times. so it's not like they haven't demonstrated they could start new markets. once driverless cars become common, do you really think people will just have their driverless car sitting at home doing nothing all day? wouldn't it be nice if you could hook your driverless car up to a API that would keep it busy and give you a cut of the revenue? uber could do that. so now imagine a world where cars now generate revenue for the people who own them, without them needing to hire a driver, find customers, or do anything besides pay for occasional repairs. 17 billion is a bargain.

Now, apparently, gimmick/publicity ‘for a day, in one city’ is “showing you are able to start new markets”? Seriously?
