Travis Kalanick thinks Uber screwed up: “Wish we had an autonomous ride-sharing product”

On Wednesday, Travis Calnnik, former CEO of Opeb, explained: It is believed that the company’s decision to abandon the independent leadership program was a mistake. “See, Calnnik said,” Look, Calienic at Los Angeles. [new management] The independent car project was killed. At that time, we were really only behind Waymo but may be attached to the knees, and we would have dubbed them in a short time. . . I was not running the company when that happened, but you know, you can say, “I hope we have an independently shared product at the moment. It will be great.”

Uber sold the self -driving unit in the sale of a fire -reported fire in 2020, three years after Kalanick was forced to step down. At that time, it was logical. Independent leadership was bleeding, and Uber had already spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this effort. Now, self -driving cars are wandering around Waymo around the Gulf, Los Angeles and Vinix region and appear in new markets.

Waymo recently participated in Austin with Uber, and Uber will be betting on its platform is very important in developing the service. But work is work, and partnerships are stalled. If Waymo decides that he does not need an intermediary, he may find Uber, who was a future for transportation, stuck in the opposite direction.
