Dara Khosrowshahi Says It Will Take Time to Realize Profits
Uber Technologies Inc. is prioritizing safety over profits as it develops its autonomous driving fleet.
“The most important factor is, ‘Can we make this technology safe? Can we build trust for riders, for example, in markets where we offer autonomous, half of our riders say, no thank you?’ ” said CEO Dara Khosrowshahi in an interview for an upcoming episode of Bloomberg Green’s Zero podcast.
“Safety is job No. 1” he added. “We will then, I would say in the next three to seven years, start to focus on economics.”
