Uber boss

Uber boss Travis Kalanick made his case for Uber in this interview with Geoff Cutmore. Here are some of his comments:

Regarding opposition - Taxi cabs were insulated from competition. Uber brought competition. Change is sometimes unwelcome. But the results are so positive that Uber is still in all the 400 cities they have rolled out in.

Regarding global reception - "Premier Li here in China has a very good vision for what he calls internet plus, which is take internet technology and cross it with an old industry and magic and progress and big things can happen."

Regarding driverless technology - Uber invests in it, thinks it will be safer than human drivers. "When you can give people their time back, and when you run these cars more efficiently and there's no more traffic, this is magic."
