Uber CEO says self-driving cars need 10-20 years to scale significantly

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi spoke at Davos and tempered expectations on autonomous vehicles. He said affordability is the main issue with current costs over $100k per unit. He expects deployment to be limited for the next 3-5 years and thinks it will take 10-20 years for AVs to become a significant part of their ride-hailing business. He did note that within a decade robot drivers will likely be safer than humans, but warned that job displacement for drivers will happen gradually as automation expands.

it's honestly refreshing to hear uber being so realistic about the timeline. safety and costs are huge hurdles that most people just overlook in the tech world.
