Despite having no expertise in the space, two years ago the ride - hailing
giant decided it would take on
tech companies and automakers
alike in the complex quest for autonomous vehicles, a goal that would eliminate a big cost to Uber rides — the driver.
It's obvious that many car companies,
tech companies, homebuilders, architects, city planners, airline companies, and many other industry leaders could do more, and we could (and often do) offer plenty of unsolicited advice to them, based on our own perspective, but considering how slowly the wheels of change turn, and how consumers and manufacturers
alike are complicit in the creation of our current petro - based economy, the move to a more sustainable economy is more likely to be one full of baby steps, and not
giant leaps.
