Uber's focus has shifted, and it no longer owns an autonomous vehicle unit after selling it to a competitor. The company recorded its first profit last year under CEO Dara Khosrowshahi. Although it facilitates rides through a network of approximately 160 million active users, the availability of self-driving cars is limited. With only a few companies, like Waymo, operating their robotaxis, experts suggest that the marketplace will be more supply constrained in the near future, affecting Uber's long-term strategy in the autonomous vehicle industry.
"To them, it doesn't really matter who ultimately succeeds. If you've got a car that works and can drive safely, you're welcome to come onto Uber and provide rides."
"This is a marketplace that for quite some time will be supply constrained, not demand constrained."
