What are you talking about? Why would Walmart own its own self driving cars? Do they own their own shipping company now?


Um, to compete with Amazon? If what Uber thinks happens and much fewer people own cars than delivery in generally will continue to increase greatly like Amazon is planning. If Amazon has drone plans, it's not crazy at all to think Walmart could make deliveries in driverless cars.

Bars could easily get driverless cars to pick people up and take them. Options like this are endless

All I'm saying is I can see many ways how Uber would be less practical potentially with driverless cars.

If cars become driverless truly and people don't actually own their own as much, it makes sense for businesses to start owning them to deliver and shuttle people around.

Given, I don't think any of that actually happens.

This makes no sense. Why would those businesses own fleets of cars? The reason they don't own them now has nothing to do with drivers. It's the logistics and capital tied up in owning those assets. What does a bar know about managing a fleet of vehicles?
