Skeptical of Uber's ability to compete with autonomous vehicles due to cost structure; doubts it will match Tesla's market share in 10 years.

Why did Uber completely fall apart? Sorry, Jason.
And why is it that Uber, which incurs a huge cost called human beings in its operation, has also reached the end of its era?
In second place, Uber's virtual network of 20 partners, 35%, which is close to second place . He adds: "Uber and Tesla are the deals of a lifetime at under $100 and under $400 respectively, in my opinion." He says.
Now, everyone has the right to their opinion, even Jason. He who knows, knows. I think it's worth mentioning that, if I remember correctly, Jason was an early investor in Uber and still holds most, if not all, of that investment, which was a huge fortune for him, so well done, Jason.
I mention this for no other reason than to point out that Jason has some familiarity with, or reason to adapt to, I mean, just some knowledge of Uber and their business.
I find it a little difficult to understand how Uber will maintain a share roughly equal to Tesla's in the self- driving vehicle market a decade from now, given Uber's structure and its network of 20 partners, and who knows how many other companies are intertwined with those partners, in addition to the difficult cost structure .
I am very interested to know the basic logic that led Jason to conclude that Uber and Tesla would be roughly equal in total market share within a decade.
Well, one of my less-than-intelligent content creator colleagues asked: "How can Uber compete when it is already collaborating with driver unions to slow down the rollout of self-driving vehicles?"
"What will artificially inflate their cost per mile due to human labor compared to fully autonomous vehicles? How does Uber prevent its network from being disrupted by having to lower its prices for human drivers to remain competitive with vertically integrated autonomous vehicle providers like Tesla, especially since other providers only have a fraction of Tesla's reach?"
Perhaps I would have phrased this question slightly differently. I mean, whether Uber is trying to delay the rollout of autonomous driving technology or not—and spoiler, they are— isn't the crux of the question.
But regardless, my fundamental, general question is similar to Farzad's question here, which is: How does Uber compete? Luckily for us, Jason answered that. Quote: 'Uber is pulling off a masterstroke, and you're too blind to see it because you're a sycophantic YouTuber who craves clicks and views.'"
"Protecting workers in the short and medium term is the only way society will widely accept self-driving vehicles in the long run. I see that Jason seems satisfied with Uber's attempts to slow the rollout of self-driving vehicle technology through unions.
Let's continue with Jason's response." Uber is the only player regulators can work with to ensure tens of millions of drivers don't lose their jobs over the next decade.
By slowly rolling out self- driving vehicles as a soft landing for human drivers, we can protect society from Waymo cars being burned on the streets. Don't you notice the data centers being intercepted?
Do you really think if consumers had the option to pay, let's say hypothetically, double the price for an identical service, a human-driven Uber versus a robot taxi, do you really think someone would say, "You know what?
Yes, I am happy to literally pay double for this service because I am a person of principle, and by principle I mean I have been programmed to believe that the massive disruption to people who make a living from driving today is not fair.
Is Jason suggesting that the patriarchal government should step in and prevent consumers from accessing a far superior and more affordable service? Is he suggesting that women who don't want to risk riding in a vehicle driven by a completely unscrupulous individual and would prefer a driverless vehicle for the same cost, or in this case, a much lower cost , should be denied that option?
If you weren't so biased, you'd realize that China halted the licensing of self- driving vehicles because of concerns about job losses. Job losses for door-dash drivers, truck drivers, and ride-sharing service participants will be severe if regulators don't slowly and carefully license self- driving vehicles.
Everyone understands this, except you and your exclamation mark. You're too biased in your thinking, Farzad, to be a true analyst. You need to stop thinking about your book, clicks, and referral codes, and rise above it to consider the global deployment of self-driving vehicles ."
The click-hungry YouTuber responded to this, saying, "I made a very logical argument about why I believe Uber is in trouble, and you chose to attack me personally."
This will result in both Uber and Tesla having a comparable market share of self-driving vehicles about a decade from now.
I'm going to work on some "clickbait" headlines to explain why Uber is completely finished,
