Uber Is Doomed

Of course they're doomed. My signals are first the "self-driving" cars that strike me as, umm, not so self-driving. Second, and the clincher for me, was the "flying car" announcements. Now, I understand they'll need that flying car in order to jump the shark, but that announcement just struck me as a company desperate to keep their name in the news.

Pile on the internal problems, and $DEITY only knows their burn rate (or maybe it's documented somewhere), and IMO they're going to have to pull a rabbit out of the hat to keep going.

The belief that self driving cars are inevitable in X short time frame is shortsighted (literally.) It is quite possible that fully self driving cars are incapable of safely navigating all the low speed edge cases, (human traffic directors telling you what to do when a light is out, construction, kids putting up fake signs that send you off a cliff.) for many years to come.
