At Uber, however, the development will not be taken in by the day, but will be gradual. In addition, there would be people who are not even in autonomous vehicles wanted to get in, In this way, there will continue to be human travelers in Uber service.
Besides you want the offers of the Public transport integrate into the app. So you want to achieve that more people inform themselves about the Uber app on the transport options.
The whole interview with the Handelsblatt with further information.
