Uber CEO: Self-Driving Cars to Outdrive Humans by 2035, Sorry Drivers!
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi bravely rode the robot wave at the 'All-In' summit this September, confessing that self-driving Waymo cars in Atlanta and Austin are gearing up to steal human drivers' gigs in the next 10-15 years. Apparently, humans will still hang on for 5-7 years because the AI's pothole-aversion tech isn’t quite perfect yet. Meanwhile, Dara admits he has no 'neat answer' for the impending robot job apocalypse except expanding Uber's on-demand AI data labeling gigs. So soon, your human Uber driver might be a glorified captcha solver while your ride gets piloted by a sleek, rain-soaked Waymo bot lurking in your city.

(1 of 3)Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where Uber's plan to replace drivers with robotaxis won't ruin millions of livelihoods sometime between 'nah, we need humans' and 'bye, thanks for trying'? Spoiler: AI's pothole radar is still buffering.
So let me get this straight: Uber will replace every driver with robotaxis that can't dodge potholes better than a toddler on a tricycle? Sounds like a brilliant plan to turn road rage into tech rage.
Uber CEO freely admits 'no neat answer' to self-driving car job apocalypse, proving once again the only thing less developed than robot taxis is their crisis management skills.
