☆ Waymo's robotaxis are better than some San Francisco drivers

Waymo's autonomous driver is pretty damn smart, and aside from a few hesitations, the robotaxi offers a smooth, comfortable experience with competitive pricing against other ride-hailing apps. Lloyd Lee/Business InsiderWaymo's 5th generation autonomous driver could be best described as a safe but not an annoyingly cautious driver. It did the same thing to give itself more room when it detected a large parked bucket truck slightly in Waymo's lane. The expectation I had that the Waymo driver would be stiff, as the term "robot taxi" might suggest, was dispelled throughout the rides. The spokesperson said it's also possible I failed to notice something the Waymo car picked up.

☆ Uber salaries revealed: See how much engineers, analysts and hundreds of other employees at the ride sharing company make
  + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( Diamond Naga Siu | Tom Dotan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
We analyzed hundreds of H-1B visa applications to get a sense of how much Uber pays employees. The ride-sharing company offered two distinguished engineers nearly $350,000 each as a base salary. As a recession looms, Uber has dramatically slowed down on hiring — even freezing hiring altogether in many departments. But salaries are also a big part of how the company pays its employees. The highest-paid people in the data are two distinguished engineers in California who were each offered $345,000, while the lowest-paid person in the data is a data analyst in Illinois who was offered $56,700.
☆ Uber's chief incrementalist: Sundeep Jain is a divisive leader who shuns flying cars in favor of a steady march toward 'super app' status.

Instead, Jain has overseen the introduction of add-on features to Uber's app, such as rental car bookings and party buses leasing. "Spending a half billion a year on flying cars doesn't make sense for the type of business we are," said one current Uber executive. "I don't think innovative people want to work for a non-innovative product leader," said one former Uber executive. "Under Sundeep's leadership the product team has shipped more products, to more users, than ever before," a spokesperson told Insider. That's two billion dollars," a current Uber product executive said.
