Mismanaging money but they aren't dead and will be here for years to come.

Uber and Lyft are nowhere close to being dead. They are taking losses on the front end to make huge profits later, when they start rolling out driverless vehicles in a few years.

Driver-less cars won't be here for another 10+ years. And none of us would get into one if they did debut one in 4-5 years.

Yeah they been testing it and companies are finally admitting they won't be here no time soon.

"According to the companies in charge of delivering this utopia, the technology behind it has always been just around the corner. In 2012, Google CEO Sergey Brin said autonomous vehicles would be a reality for “ordinary people” within five years. In 2016, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick promised to get rid of human drivers in four years’ time. In 2017, a BMW board member told a conference crowd that the company’s slogan, “The ultimate driving machine,” would be obsolete by 2020.

All of those predictions have now been extended far into the future. In April, Uber’s chief scientist admitted that self-driving taxis would take “a long time” and declined to make any further prediction. Officials from Nissan and Ford have said that the industry “overestimated” the timeline for developing autonomous technology. A 2018 Nature article by MIT scientists deflated the hype entirely, concluding that “some form of human intervention will always be required.

I still don't know how you lose money on an app where you don't do shyt and take 25% of each fare :dwillhuh:

Because Uber is paying for each ride.

They subsidize a certain amount of driver compensation, otherwise either they wouldn't have enough drivers or the service would be too expensive for riders.

The True Cost of Your Uber Ride Is Much Higher Than You Think

Investor reports reveal riders only pay 41 percent of the full cost of each ride, with investors footing the remaining 59 percent.

A company that bought in 3.8 billion dollars in revenue over four months is never dead. Driverless cars & Taxi’s are ubers best hope.
How do you keep the ability to use outside funds(people buying your stock) when you lose 1 billion dollars a quarter.

Uber can only be saved by self driving cars or becoming a company that hires so many full time drivers and chargers riders based on how long they are in the car:ohhh:
