I&#x27;m increasingly coming to believe that Uber won&#x27;t win the driverless car taxi battle.  They don&#x27;t have the expertise in vehicle technology and Google is increasingly beginning to signal that they don&#x27;t want to hand over the spoils of what they have to Uber.  (It&#x27;s possibly why Uber just acquired a huge division of Microsoft&#x27;s Bing mapping team recently -- I suspect they&#x27;re beginning to think that their reliance on Google Maps API is a liability.)<p>In my opinion Uber&#x27;s most realistic and promising direction is towards doubling down on delivery and logistics.  E.g. Uber Eats (which is already amazing) and Uber Package delivery.
