Yes, manufacturers. Interesting dynamic w investors nervous about capex on AVs which Uber is dabbling in but says are still too expensive. AV software runs ahead of any manufacturer's ability to make the vehicles cheaply enough at scale. Or all could could be a ruse to out maneuver Tesla?

Uber's $20bn share buy back is a MASSIVE transfer of their wage theft from exploited workers to greedy investors. It equates to $2,400 for every rider & driver on the platform or just under the total value of fares collected from passengers in Q2 '25. www.ft.com/content/6643...

Is £1.90 per mile a fair fare? No. For example, Woking Council estimates per mile costs of £3.82 based on a driver taking home £35k per year. Given fixed vehicle & fuel costs, to meet Lammy's fare demand, a driver would have to accept a take home salary of just £12k pa.

Concerning that David Lammy was expecting to pay a one way fare of 360 miles for just £717. That is just £1.9 per mile for a 7 hour trip and the driver must return empty. Even brutally exploitative Bolt quotes c. €2,170 for this trip one way.

According to Pershing Square, a major investor in Uber, in the near future human drivers will only fill in gaps at periods of peak demand, most of the work will be done by autonomous vehicle fleets. Having destroyed decent work, Uber now wants to kill off employment altogether.
