How many cities is Uber in? How many cities is Waymo in? That's why


If they were in all cities already Uber would be dead. But someone, either Uber or market is not even reacting to this inevitability?


The time horizon on Waymo getting there is quite long. Uber is in every city because they don't have to build and maintain their own fleet. Waymo will have to. That's not only a massive capital cost, but a substantial scaling problem.


Because there's two decades of revenue between that happening and today.

It's far more likely that Uber buys Waymo than Waymo replacing Uber.

I'm LA based and I witnessed them loading the entire city with Waymo cars in a span of two months.

And no, I don't have stock and I was very skeptical of them being able to crack this but I was proven wrong in the past 2 months.
