Uber Sachin Kanal Executive has a reputation for dogfooding – tactic use its own products and services for root problems and make improvements.
When he ranged the uber executive ladder for the past eight years, Kansal ratcheted up 700 travel sending food or person intended. Long reports, often dozens of pages long and filled with an app that records the observation and what should be corrected, it is a trademark.
As a corporate product official, kansal has a new challenge that can make dogioding strategies for the test: an otonom vehicle integration in the Uber app, including robotactical wraces in a Go to the high profile That was kicked this week in Austin.
“What does it mean to join the platform? Because it’s easy to say,” Kansan music, appointed the CPP role in October after Sundeep Jain after Sundeep Jain after Sundeep Jain.
In practice, this means that Matchmaking technology dance on the backend of the Uber app leap per user asking for food or ride shipping. Autonomous vehicles add layers of other complexity. Uber Market – In which appropriate and value decisions are made – must consider different factors and decide that the human driver or robot cars should be sent.
Robot in the Uber app
Uber, after the intention of developing a home vehicle technology at home, has become partnership for caring the market in the Nascent. So far, Uber is working on 14 autonomous technology with global.
Partner company with the alphabet autonomy company in 2023 to offer robotaxi riding in Phoenix. Also have been deals with Sidewalk Delivery Gap Company, Cartkenand Serve robotics To deliver autonom foods in Uber Meats Network. Avride also Planning to launch Robotactsize the Uber App in Dallas later this year.
Kansan is in the driver’s seat in the Product Product experience and how can work in Uber App. And the next great test is here.
Waymo and Uber launches this week a Robotaxi services The Austin marks evolution in the AV strategy of both companies. That is called “Waymo in Uber” Robotaxi Service as an exclusive partnership. The only way to wear a robotaxi waymo in Austin – and not the Atlanta long – will be through the Uber app.
The robotaxi service also drives the responsibility, departing from how the because ofammo generally open the operational.
Waymo will be the responsibility of the vehicle test, the roadside help, and the rider support aspect. Uber will organize the Fleet service such as vehicle purifies, maintenance, inscision, charger, and operation depot through the company called Eovo cars, which are restored.
It is important, Uber will handle the corresponding, price, and robotaxis robotaxes to the destination. Balance between drivers and a human robot can prove mainly polarization. Teamsters, the union of employment representing the driver, as a vowel enemy for robotactics and independent driving trucks. Drivers have also given the concern that the robotaxis will reduce the payment or take the entire job.
Kansan, who are instrumental to scroll Uber for teenagers, expecting AV programs to evolve and increase as a study company.
“We will learn a lot about management and maintenance and charge the autonom vehicle,” he said. “We will learn much when we set the fleet surgery with our partner.” He added Uber also will pull out of the experience to manage a human being driven by human and apply to robotactics.
“I feel pretty sure that you will succeed,” he said. “Of course, when we learned, we will be more tone. And whatever you learn and set it, we will not only apply to Austin, we will take place elsewhere.”
Kansal said he was confident about the service model “Waymo on Uber” and use the fleet carrier, but he says another option can appear in the future.
“I believe will try different models, but we feel so happy with this model, it has given the experience with the Fleet provider,” he said.
Uber past
Uber has controversial relationship with autonomous vehicle technology. The company, when there is a co-founder leader and former CEO Travis Kalick, see AVS as a winning race. And in the look of Uber, the only way to win is to create your own business unit.
The company is riding on an otonomous vehicle at the beginning of 2015 when announcing strategic partnership with the National Robotics Center of Carnegie Melting University. An agreement for working with non-activated car technology Uber Poaching Tens of Nrec Research and scientists. The next year, Uber Acquire the beginning of the driving truck Called Otto, beginning established one of Google’s engineers, Anthony Levandongski, along with the other Arabians: Lior Ron, Claire Don Burnnette.
The acquisition results in law problems with Google, which makes two arbitration demanding Levandongs and Ron. Waymo separately filed the lawsuit against the Uber in February 2017 to steal theft and the patent violation. Waymo is dino in the coat, which is trying to but done in a settlement In 2018, it Levandonski The secret trade theft, which is used by Uber.
Uber immediately performs other controversies to be controversy when one of the Otonom’s test vehicles – who have human safety driver at the back of the wheel in March 2018.
Uber speeds ATG spring 2019 after getting $ 1 billion funds from Toyota, Auto section and Vision Vision Vision. But still a Exposure companies That works more than 1,000 people and at least 250 vehicles driving their own at the fleet. Finally, Uber sell atg To start aurora in the deal that includes Equity exchange and investment $ 400 million who gives you a company of 26% in a joint company.
When Uber strategies have changed from the In-House construction into the portable tech to build with the company like Waymo, the company must have been believed in autonomous, saying. Still, the challenge and controversial will continue to bubble – the person you trust is true or not.
Kansan is looking forward to the dogfooding system to robotaxis will produce rapidly and can be done that will be out of AV business. And she was there, traveling to and from Austin to ride on robotaxis puppet.
It is still a high order; Today Uber Uber to complete a million at a time, according to Kansane, who wish every single one is not perfect.
