ywheeler+FollowDallas gets Uber robotaxis—would you ride?Self-driving taxis are now cruising Dallas streets, and you might get matched with one next time you order an Uber. Uber has teamed up with Avride to launch a fleet of autonomous Hyundai Ioniq 5s, though there’s still a safety driver up front for now. The robotaxi rollout is happening fast, with Dallas joining Austin and Atlanta as Uber’s latest test cities. What’s wild is you can choose to stick with a human driver if you’re not ready for the robot experience. How do you feel about sharing the road—or your ride—with these new robotaxis? #Transportation #Dallas #Uber00Share
Anne Clark+FollowUber vs Waymo: Who’s Winning in SF?Ross Gerber just threw some serious shade at Uber, saying it’s ‘cooked’ now that Waymo’s self-driving cars are taking over San Francisco. Waymo’s already grabbed 10% of the market with just its app, and Gerber says he’d pick a robotaxi over a human driver any day. Uber’s trying to fight back with AI gigs and new autonomous rides, but is it enough? Would you trust a robot car over a regular Uber? #Transportation #Uber #Waymo00Share
Tristan Richards+FollowUber’s AI Side Hustle: PhDs In, Then OutEver thought about picking up a tech side gig? Uber just hired a bunch of PhDs to help train AI for Google, then pulled the plug early, leaving some waiting for their first paycheck. The twist? These gigs paid up to $110 an hour, but the work dried up when Google shifted priorities. It’s a reminder: even high-paying tech side hustles can vanish overnight. Always have a backup plan! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Uber00Share
Kelly Sanchez+FollowDo You Compare Uber vs Lyft Prices?Here’s a question for the ride-hailing crowd: Do you actually check both Uber and Lyft before booking? A new study found a 14% average price difference for the same trip in NYC, yet most riders stick to their default app. With millions at stake, is it laziness, app design, or just brand loyalty keeping us from saving? Would you switch for a better deal, or is convenience king? #Tech #rideshare #Uber00Share
