Will Uber succeed in the next 5 years?

What are your thoughts on the mid / long term success of Uber? Levelling off of sales, Tesla launching it's robo-taxi service in 2020 and Waymo partnering with Lyft, this seems to add significant long term pressure on the ridesharing aspect of Uber. Uber Eats and Freight make up a very small part of the total value, and whilst the opportunity of Eats is huge, the future success of Uber's ridesharing business seems critical to success. https://www.google.com/amp/s/thenextweb.com/artificial-intelligence/2019/05/08/elon-says-tesla-will-field-1m-fully-autonomous-robo-taxis-by-2020-ai-experts-call-bs/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/techcrunch.com/2019/05/07/waymo-and-lyft-partner-to-scale-self-driving-robotaxi-service-in-phoenix/amp/ https://www.wsj.com/articles/behind-ubers-slowing-growth-onslaught-of-global-competition-takes-a-toll-11555061401

Quiet period 🤐

Since when did blind members ever repsect blackout periods 😊 How about a 👍 or 👇 as an indication of sentiment? 😉

Quiet period is the only time engineers can pretend to know anything.

I think they’ll do well. Wait for 1-2 earnings reports to come in, price will stabilize a bit and the go long after that. I don’t think they’ll remain a 80bn company after 3-4 yrs.

Next 5 years autonomous won't really be a factor

Elon Musk is bullshitting

I like Tesla. This is the first time I feel like Tesla will vanish in next 4-5 years

Not a user of ridesharing but uber eats is not a sustainable business for sure, they've been increasing the "service fee" desperately recently, which will drive down the user base a lot.

Interesting you think that about food delivery. In reality it is the opposite

Grubhub already showed how it is profitable quarter after quarter.

That shit looks washboard abs flat. Flatter than a dead guy's EKG. Who the hell wants to pay $80B for that?
