When you are Uber, what we care about is the customer experience of getting somebody safely, cheaply, efficiently and reliably from where they are to where they want to go.
When I first got pitched on Uber, I thought it was the dumbest idea ever.
Lyft is the fastest-growing on-demand transportation service in the United States. It's as easy as opening the Lyft app, clicking a button, and a driver arrives within minutes.
Self-driving cars will enable car-sharing even in spread-out suburbs. A car will come to you just when you need it. And when you are done with it, the car will just drive away, so you won't even have to look for parking.
The ability for somebody to put their arm out and get a taxi is fundamentally different then having a 10-minute pickup time. It just is.
Uber is a better company with better math, better predictive supply, better brand, lower pickup times, higher quality of service. They'll absolutely win.
I'd never had people drive me around, and then all of a sudden, if a car didn't come, I'd say, "Where's my car?"
We like to think of Uber as the cross between lifestyle and logistics, where lifestyle is what you want and logistics is how you get it there.
There is nothing that would prevent Fiat Chrysler from providing ride-sharing service to a wider community and using our dealer network for this.
We don't have to do this. Just say the word and I can have a jet here in an hour. We can go anywhere
I think that's where the world is going. People will not own cars; they'll have a service that takes them where they want to go, when they want to go there. And that's what Uber is.
Lyft is enabling an exciting new model of freedom and personal mobility, as evidenced by its millions of satisfied users.
Transportation is going to transition from ownership to transportation as a service. What is the best model to address the largest part of that market? We believe it's peer-to-peer.
