Not happening anytime soon, and very likely not coming from Uber, but deep learning can do what a vast majority of doctors do, and better. I've had staples for example and one was put in kind of criss-crossed. I had a girlfriend who had worse, and it was painful to take out. A machine can do it better 1. and 2. plenty of people could be trained to do it. I've never visited a doctor for anything that took much skill.
I don't want a driverless car. I normally use a ride service when on vacation or traveling for business. I like having a conversation with the drivers. They always know the hots spots, the good food, etc. in the area.
This guy never mentioned that uber takes 50% and uses driver's car which depreciates and that's almost cost the same as $40 a year, when you do the math, drivers are making minimum wage and riders get into unsafe cars with recalls.
***** dude that's what Uber wants you to believe, after car depreciation, gas, repairs, maintenance, and insurance that's close to 50%. Google the undercover Philadelphia journalist who made minimum wage driving for Uber.
Its easy to have a 5.0 rating if you lie about driving people at all, or if you do drive then you also have the clout to to change your rating back to 5.0 at will. Any driver with a perfect rating is suspect and most likely brand new/ never driven before.
+firefly311 1) he probably only did it once because he knows people are going to ask him that question 2) it's not that hard to go into the database and change your rating to a 5 when you have the developers at your fingertips
Lots of idiots trying to stop Uber, you can't keep fighting the inevitable. I'm sure the guys that delivered ice by horse cursed the refrigerator, it didn't go away and everyone lived.

+Anthony Zelot Accountability shouldn't be the only requirement for approval of any new current techs which are taking over peoples jobs, in most cases its cause they dont want to pay people when a machine can do the job. Its greed nothing else
Did I get re-education from the Soviet Union? Really? That's is about the most ignorant response I could fathom, seems you just NEED some education. Re-education is something many people do, it is very common, but if you never had education to start with I can understand why you would not understand this. To mention something about the Soviet Union just makes you a fool and an asshole, but I'm sure you got that from the news. But you should know, the Soviet Union does not exist anymore. And "fuck face"? Really? That's the best you got? Laughable.
horse drivers didn't take out loans to buy incredibly expensive cab medallions that were rendered invaluable by a big corporation ruining their industry. your shitty comparison reflects your shitty understanding of what has happened to the cab industry in america.
Joshua Nelson I know LOL I don't know why people are so hard on Uber for some reason, people act like it's this horrible satanic company or something and I think it's really good I think it's a great thing
I read an article somewhere that said there were some taxi drivers in the audience who created some ruckus while the interview was on. Stephen silenced them but told them he would ask the question. That is why you see Travis being kinda high spirited at the very beginning and then it cuts to the taxi question and Travis looking kinda off.
Uber is all crap. I have a year experience as a driver and you make like $10/hour. People leave trash behind in you car and you have to take all their shit. They make you wait, make several stops sometimes. You pay for gas, mileage, taxes, Uber's fees and a safe ride fee. At the end of the day you just take pennies home.
If I said I have a year of experience with Uber that means I just did not try it and then left. Read before you comment. I drove three months full time and the rest part time. It did not matter how many hours I worked I always got the same results. I worked early in the morning, in the evenign, etc and never made more then $10/hour.
+Anthony Zelot A) 95% of UberX vehicles I have been in, about 200 rides in the last 1 year, has been cleaner and a more modern vehicle than taxis. B) Why do I care about ToS says about insurance? You think UberX drivers want to get in an accident and ruin their business by suffering massive costs to repair their vehicle and to deal with health insurance for themselves and their passenger. Whether Uber takes the cost or the driver does, who cares? It doesn't affect me, the customer. B2) Maybe late taxis don't bother you, but when I know exactly how many minutes it will take an UberX to reach me, that is worth everything. ---- tl;dr - UberX has been an amazing experience for me, which is why like I said I have taken so many rides in the last year. Long Live Uber.
+gingo dingo You don't get hurt differently if you get in an accident in a 21st century Uber vs. an old-school taxi-cab. You get hurt the same amount, silly. And I've taken hundreds of Uber rides in the last year and never got hurt. I used to take taxi rides all the time before, but Uber has been a lifesaver. A++
They take a huge cut and the fares are really low to begin with. The payout doesn't include taxes and they refuse to put in a tipping feature. In addition to that they don't educate the consumer that in an uber x tip is not included and these oh so grateful uber riders don't tip, almost ever. It absolutely is unfair to the driver, who makes them billions.
+luomio I don't use it, I drove for it and no they don't educate you upfront about how much they're taking, that they discourage tipping saying "they make enough money they don't need tips" a comment which is first, not true and second super deceptive since they're not using their cars, or paying for gas, or the wear and tear on the car. Let me guess you're one of those uber riders that thinks the same thing, am I right?
+Asymmatrix Yellow cabs are a real bastion of quality service. I love paying half a plane ticket's worth just to get to the airport. Allowing monopolies in the guise of government regulation is bad for business.
+Josh A Uber isn't generally cheaper than a yellow cab in NYC, they're just breaking the law. So tired of the nonsense about 'monopolies.' Research the Haas Act, NYC put a limit on cab numbers out of necessity.
+Asymmatrix They are not breaking a law, If you truly think that a law needs to exist for the simple exchange between 2 individuals agreeing to a service being provided. then you are an imbecile. You can drive your cousin to the airport and he may give you gas money, that's not illegal, Why is it illegal when a random person does it?
+Vandal We had no limit on taxis once, it was a disaster. Massive over saturation, desperate and dangerous drivers who couldnt afford car repairs, absurd traffic. As a necessary extension of the mass transit system, in NYC, you can't have that. I realize these facts won't penetrate at all, and youll ramble on endlessly about 'monopolies' and 'big government,' but try to give it a rest. You can drive your cousin but youre not operating as a business. Gas money from your cousin is not charging strangers per mile as a commercial business.
He doesn't need self driving cars , he has selfles drivers and cars for 30 cents a mile and he takes 20% so why he needs to invest in cars when he has free drivers and free cars
+MWolverine GoBlue Fallon is fun, light and entertaining. Two entirely different formats. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Yes they both are fruit... but different. Ain't nothing wrong with that!
If only Uber did background checks on their drivers and didn't have such bullshit pricing protocols, I might actually be interested in what else they have going on.
+The1AndOnlyGoldenboy They're not even properly insured. Only place which demanded Uber drivers use actual commercial insurance is NYC. Everywhere else it's useless personal insurance which is cancelled if the insurer finds out, backed by a nonsense Uber policy which only really protects Uber.
+Asymmatrix Just not true, jam required to have 250.000 pre set and 300.000 liability in Phoenix. It's just not all drivers will pay 600 a monthWhen uber uses a blanket bond. And many cab companies do this also, trying to think of one that doesn't.
+The1AndOnlyGoldenboy Please apply, and then say this. My TWIC one background check, although FBI. My FAA ID one background check. My Hazmat on my driver license 1 check. My adoption 1 check. My UBER application 5 background checks 2 Criminal 2 driving "2 state lic" 1 sexual predator.The good thing is you have a choice don't use it if you wish, but don't lie not when its as easy to apply to find out.
+Oid Mattox Right, then let's try to explain how the guy that lives 3 houses down from me became an Uber driver even though he's been arrested several times for possession of narcotics and twice for distributing controlled substances. He goes into the Houston area every day and drives people around, even though he's a criminal that has NOT gotten his act together. Bull-fucking-shit Uber does background checks.
To all taxi drivers, truck drivers, bus drivers I think we all should look for different kind of skills now and learn it. Because it looks like it coming to an end.
Uber is a great concept,those opposing it is the taxi industry and its rich plate owners,why would a taxi driver if he has his own car not want to be truly your own boss and not pay the rich plate owner to rent the plates and car.Only thing holding it back is liablity since using your car for commercial purposes could void a standard car insurance policy.Time is changing and too bad the taxi industry cannot accept it.
1. Don't do Uber full time unless you're in a job search. Eventually taxes, mileage and cellular data WILL rack up. 2. Go to an airport holding lot and relax in a queue or drive in major cities during games and concerts, don't drive around and accept trips 15 minutes away in minor cities because it often times is a drunk going on a 5 minute trip home. That's how you burn money
I just love the fact the colbert is back. Again he goes for the hard questions. Both kimmys would have sucked up to this guy and chuck todd can't get these people cause he sucks. Colbert had a phenomenal interview with Biden and this uber clown. STEPHEN!!!!
You apparently don't understand English well. Let me break it down for you. You said driver-less cars are SAFER. I'm saying, they are not SAFER, if you look at Google's own statistics as well as the others, of how many of their own driver-less cars have been involved in crashing/crashed. The technology isn't advanced to recognize another vehicle driving ahead to know when to brake, that's why sensors are being implemented to be in all cars within a decade. Look it up. It's called Smart Braking. NO WHERE did I state it has more accidents you dumb fuck. I stated "RebelRager883:23 PM +Naryan Robinson I suggest you look up how many accidents Google's own and other self driving cars have actually been involved in. Safer my ASS." You're the ignorant one for making assumptions and putting words in people's mouths to steer a conversation in your point of view to make other looks like a fool, when the joke's on you you pompous ass. I'm an engineer at Ford BTW, we're heavily invested in our R&D team for driver-less cars. We're done here. I don't have to hear from a "analyst/commentator" such as yourself when you have no experience or expertise in this field to touch on this subject matter.
The taxi example he gives is totally flawed. yes, the taxi system was monopolized but Uber is monopolizing their platform in a different way. Uber can enable as many cars as they want. And, because of this, they flood the streets with as many cars as they can severely limiting any earnings a driver might make as they have to compete with more and more drivers. On Uber's side, the more drivers the better. Cast the widest net possible and collect 20-30% of every available ride.
+Jim Fath What's the problem with that? Uber is a company in a free market capitalist economy. We don't ration the supply side of the equation in a free market. As a customer, I love Uber because I get cheap rides. Why do you want to increase the price I pay?
+Eragmus I drove for Uber for 2 years in Los Angeles and stopped once it dipped below minimum wage. (Factoring in taxes, maintenance, and depreciation) The drivers that are left are inept and don't factor any of the expenses in. Taxes the most notable. The ride share companies lose countless drivers after their tax bills arrive in the first few months of the year. I'm opposed to companies leveraging contractor loop holes to end around paying people a fair wage.
+Jim Fath But think about it this way. If Uber paid a "fair wage" (i.e. translating into higher prices for customers like me), then customers will make less rides. As a customer, at least, the only reason I use Uber heavily is due to the low prices. If prices increased by a real amount, I would probably re-adjust my style to not use Uber any longer, or to use Uber far less... so no more daily use. In other words, a free market really is the best solution. The only real solution I can imagine is Uber should decrease how much it takes to a lower percentage. The other idea is drivers can become more efficient or 'smart' or 'creative' about how they work... I spoke to some drivers who said they make plenty, because they do things other drivers don't do (like wake up early and drive early morning hours, or late hours, or weekends, or hang around certain high-traffic areas like airports, etc.). Basically, in a free market, people have to be creative and innovative to get an edge.
+Eragmus profitability for drivers depends on the market. It's lousy in LA but decent in SF. It's ok in NY and Seattle but it's regulated so there are only so many drivers allowed on the road. Part of the danger Uber is running into here in LA is that drivers have to strategize and work as many platforms as they can cut corners and ditching rides. Driving simultaneously for Lyft, Uber, Side Car, Wingz, and others. Sometimes that means icing out a passenger because you get multiple requests at once. You are punished for canceling rides and denied bonuses for acceptance. Or the request is too far away and it's not worth the risk of driving. For me, toward the end of my tenure with Ride Share driving, I was accepting requests from but not picking anyone that was more than 10 minutes away. The risk of it being a short ride and a net loss was not worth it. As a passenger I've had it happen to me a few times. Usually when I'm in fringe areas. I'll see the driver on the map driving all over the place picking up other passengers on other platforms waiting for me to cancel. Uber also lost 2 law suits based on the laws of defining employees as independent contractors and not actual employees. I think Uber is so new and groovy that people want to see how far it goes. There is a palpable effect on DUI's.
Its weird how he explained Uber Eats....was that ever the model -to have pre-made food available in temperature controlled containers in cars? Why was he trying to act like Uber Eats was somehow different from a Doordash or a Grub hub where you order your food from a restaurant wait for it to be made, wait for a driver to pick it up and wait for the driver to be deliver? Thats more than 5 minutes Travis. LOL
Great, you made the videos available to watch in Canada! Glad to see you guys listen, I was going to unsubscribe today because that has annoyed me the last few days.
I don't think Kalanick is on the same plan of existence as Stephen. Watching him trying to excuse the Australian uber scandal was humorous. He didn't lie, but his justification was uber weak. It was like if a deadly virus broke out in a town and he charged them 10 times as more for the vaccine with the justification that there were more people at the mall where it was being administered. Then taking it all away because people rushed to get it. Also, him trying to explain his food delivery idea was hilarious.
+Sarah Fisk charging more for a vaccine does not increase the number of vaccines - raising the pay of drivers increases the number of drivers. don't you think drivers should be able to make more money when demand is high?
exactly ... u called his presence meh ... and i am stating that before calling him that look at his success ... no one is that successful by just having a meh personality
skidhs not taking away from his success in any way, but he literally said push a button for a minute straight, colbert had to ask him 30 times..doubt it was a bit
the idea they turn off surge in certain events. 'terrorist attack/ extreme weather' all that would do is mean drivers would stay home to avoid the danger. If danger is driving demand up doesnt it make sense to increase price to reflect the risk? Disagree if you will but economics are simple there will always be risk-reward in economics.
yeah but he cuts out the cabbies standing up for themeslves and half the reason he even asked that question...it was definitely NOT a planned question and MOST certainly cut out the part where the cabbies stood up for themselves.
If only his VCs and Co-founders did not backstab him, This man could have been the next god of transportation. His vision, His appetite for risk and his aggression. Salute.
Uber's success is predicated on a couple of things. 1. A weak economy. 2. No fingerprinting osiris suspects, I mean drivers. 3. The total lack of understanding of what it cost to operate a car as a taxi. 4. If uber goes driverless, Ford and Google will just do it cheaper and better. Uber is dead in the water and they know it
@@tonysaavedra2942 Facts! If someone on the board said this word for word on cnbc or shareholder meetings, the company would be none existent fast. Them making no profits will only make the thesis stronger.
People have to understand the taxi industry is dead, whether its uber or lyft the taxi industry cannot compete with them, its time the taxi drivers saved their $40,000 and bought a nice car, you can get one mercedes every year with that money and download a free app.
1) Uber sold Lexus cars to drivers so that they could be able to drive for their premium service (black). Now they don't allow Lexus on their Black service 2) Uber lowered their prices so drivers need to work more hours to make the same amount of money 3) Uber now takes 25% of what a driver makes whereas before it was 20% 4) Uber doesn't allow tips 5) Uber doesn't care about passenger safety since a lot of their background checks failed to stop many felons from driving 6) Uber chargers the customer more fees now than before and it DOES NOT go to the driver such as " booking fee" "Safety fee" 7) Uber dropped the fares for 5 different times in the past 3 years 8) Uber can fire you without a reason 9) Uber chargers up to 25% and whatever left you pay 20% tax on and whatever left from that you still have to pay gas and car maintenance 10) Uber CEO is very greedy and he is a prick.
guess you havent done enough research on him. you should go watch testimonies against Uber or try being an Uber driver with a family. He's restructuring the industry to only bring in more low-income workers and drive out hard working reliable people. In the end, he gets rich, people make less and less in the end.
And has put hundred of thousands of drivers into cars making their own money on their own time. He's also put thousands of people on the streets into cars to get people where they need to go. Awesome!
+Eragmus - You know why you pay half rate for ab Uber ride? Because you get a small fraction of the actual service. Legitimate Taxi companies have overhead. They pay for insurance, quality vehicles, vehicle maintenance, employee benefits. They have standards they have to meet and maintain. They are responsible if their driver robs you; has an accident that lands you in the hospital for 3 months; has an accident that kills you, leaving your spouse & 2 kids without a provider, has a vehicle break down that is going to make you late for the most important meeting of your life. A cab company has another vehicle that can provide another ride within minutes..... scenarios could go on forever. Kalanick & Uber are not much different than street pimps.
I actually respect Travis much more after this video. I drive for Uber and I know that a robot will soon have my job. That's okay, things change. He makes a good point, self driving cars are here and there is nothing we can do to stop them. One way or another nearly everything will be automated in the not so distance future.
In a uber world , we wake up in the morning and make lunches, put them in our car and drive around to try and get a fare , in the meantime we lease out our home to strangers (airbnb) , we sleep in our car at night, in the morning we go to our home and do some housekeeping , make more lunches and do this all over again . All this just to survive. Then the driverless cars are implemented and we lose one income, then a robot starts to make lunches and the lunches are loaded in this driverless car , then we have to sell our home as we can't afford to keep it so we wind up homeless and just live in our car. Uber world rocks? NOT.
I was working as UBER driver but now is so bad,NO money example as uberx driver you make 1.24 x mile + .20 a minute + 2.00 base fare ., ( - ) some % for uber. if you make a trip that is 2.75 miles away,trip time 7 min aprox.,you will make 5.52 dollars. you lose like 10 min. and gas to pick up a passenger that want to go 2.75 miles away and then you get stuck in traffic so on the end you make less than 10 dollars per hour.,but the worst part is that later you will need to pay your brakes,tires and other repairs.
Interviews like this are very Colbert Report-esque. It's too bad CBS is making him throw all these other "commercialized" bits in there, like the NFL players or the Sabra bit from Night 1. If it continues like this, I'm just going to want the old Colbert Report back.
as an uber driver, former i should say, this guy is full of shit, Uber drivers barely make minimum wage and the fact that they use their own car means that they pay for gas, maintainence, insurance, and incure 100% of the risk; Uber just sits back doing nothing and makes massive profits.
Bingo. He conveniently leaves all of those extra cost factors out. If you tally up all inevitable expenses -- at the end of the year -- you're absolutely right.
>Makes massive profits I know this post is old but what? Uber lost 2.8 billion in 2016. Check your facts before you post nonsense, and 21 retards upvoted this like sheep.
I can't believe he got booted out of the company I'm reading a book it was written about his company in Airbnb that beginning of the sharing economy I'm a Silicon Valley native I drove for Uber and Lyft and saw Travis speak at UCLA in 2015 play Mad respect for him but what a fall from grace
but the cabs are controlled by the mobs, basically. you got to understand that. The medalion costs millions to get, and was controlled by a few mobs that over charge the taxi drivers. They are no good for anyone except for those mobs.
You dont pay 40,000 dollars to rent No. Instead, you borrow 97,000 to buy a limo based on false promises and then have it towed away as soon as the company changes its mind

Joshua Nelson I know LOL I don't know why people are so hard on Uber for some reason, people act like it's this horrible satanic company or something and I think it's really good I think it's a great thing
Good to know what kind of person Stephen is finally.
I read an article somewhere that said there were some taxi drivers in the audience who created some ruckus while the interview was on. Stephen silenced them but told them he would ask the question. That is why you see Travis being kinda high spirited at the very beginning and then it cuts to the taxi question and Travis looking kinda off.
person: Any question
Travis Kalanick: you just push a button and...
I need help
Uber is all crap. I have a year experience as a driver and you make like $10/hour. People leave trash behind in you car and you have to take all their shit. They make you wait, make several stops sometimes. You pay for gas, mileage, taxes, Uber's fees and a safe ride fee. At the end of the day you just take pennies home.
+alex monsalve ....okay.... no one was forcing you to work for Uber.
+GenMussolini What's your point? He isn't allowed the share his experience because he could quit? I'm not following your comment.
+GenMussolini Guessing he just tried it out, see that it didn't work out and stop.
If I said I have a year of experience with Uber that means I just did not try it and then left. Read before you comment.
I drove three months full time and the rest part time. It did not matter how many hours I worked I always got the same results. I worked early in the morning, in the evenign, etc and never made more then $10/hour.
the user not the company
He had a great idea and worked on it
His business model was to break the law. He's a monster, and if that's the type of person you idolize, then YOU'RE the problem.
Except it was never his idea he was like the man who stole mcdonald's away from the actual mcdonalds 🤣😑
@@reynoldsmathey it’s a crappy business. I really believed in it but the reality is it creates more poverty & chaos.
@@bekit7131how so?
They should not let kalanick do anymore interviews..
+Anthony Zelot Why not? I love Uber's CEO. I get very cheap UberX rides because of his amazing work. No more dirty, overcharging, late taxis!
+Anthony Zelot A) 95% of UberX vehicles I have been in, about 200 rides in the last 1 year, has been cleaner and a more modern vehicle than taxis. B) Why do I care about ToS says about insurance? You think UberX drivers want to get in an accident and ruin their business by suffering massive costs to repair their vehicle and to deal with health insurance for themselves and their passenger. Whether Uber takes the cost or the driver does, who cares? It doesn't affect me, the customer. B2) Maybe late taxis don't bother you, but when I know exactly how many minutes it will take an UberX to reach me, that is worth everything. ---- tl;dr - UberX has been an amazing experience for me, which is why like I said I have taken so many rides in the last year. Long Live Uber.
+Eragmus If you get hurt in a accident you're kinda fucked dumb shit.
+gingo dingo You don't get hurt differently if you get in an accident in a 21st century Uber vs. an old-school taxi-cab. You get hurt the same amount, silly. And I've taken hundreds of Uber rides in the last year and never got hurt. I used to take taxi rides all the time before, but Uber has been a lifesaver. A++
Please continue to be a shill
They take a huge cut and the fares are really low to begin with. The payout doesn't include taxes and they refuse to put in a tipping feature. In addition to that they don't educate the consumer that in an uber x tip is not included and these oh so grateful uber riders don't tip, almost ever. It absolutely is unfair to the driver, who makes them billions.
Then don't use the service. Isn't the free market great? You can vote with your wallet.
+luomio I don't use it, I drove for it and no they don't educate you upfront about how much they're taking, that they discourage tipping saying "they make enough money they don't need tips" a comment which is first, not true and second super deceptive since they're not using their cars, or paying for gas, or the wear and tear on the car. Let me guess you're one of those uber riders that thinks the same thing, am I right?
and u probably work for corporate or some job that also does the same....
u should run for president if u have an issue with this.....
Most of my riders do tip. It’s now very easy in the app.
They edited out the questions from the audience regarding the way Uber's illegal ehails are destroying the yellow cab business.
+Asymmatrix Yellow cabs are a real bastion of quality service. I love paying half a plane ticket's worth just to get to the airport. Allowing monopolies in the guise of government regulation is bad for business.
+Josh A Uber isn't generally cheaper than a yellow cab in NYC, they're just breaking the law. So tired of the nonsense about 'monopolies.' Research the Haas Act, NYC put a limit on cab numbers out of necessity.
+Asymmatrix They are not breaking a law, If you truly think that a law needs to exist for the simple exchange between 2 individuals agreeing to a service being provided. then you are an imbecile.
You can drive your cousin to the airport and he may give you gas money, that's not illegal, Why is it illegal when a random person does it?
+Vandal We had no limit on taxis once, it was a disaster. Massive over saturation, desperate and dangerous drivers who couldnt afford car repairs, absurd traffic. As a necessary extension of the mass transit system, in NYC, you can't have that. I realize these facts won't penetrate at all, and youll ramble on endlessly about 'monopolies' and 'big government,' but try to give it a rest.
You can drive your cousin but youre not operating as a business. Gas money from your cousin is not charging strangers per mile as a commercial business.
+Vandal Ubers PAYING off EVERYONE in NYC to EXIST....Trust me on THAT
He doesn't need self driving cars , he has selfles drivers and cars for 30 cents a mile and he takes 20% so why he needs to invest in cars when he has free drivers and free cars
There is a good reason why Uber was sued and forbidden in Germany.
Wow this interview was a little awkward. You can tell by Travis's uncomfortable face throughout.
This guy will not change ever
Colbert is 100x better than fallon
+MWolverine GoBlue 1000Xs!
agreed, Fallon is pandering bullshit
+MWolverine GoBlue Fallon is fun, light and entertaining. Two entirely different formats. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Yes they both are fruit... but different. Ain't nothing wrong with that!

He's 100x worse, and I don't even like Fallon, either.
If only Uber did background checks on their drivers and didn't have such bullshit pricing protocols, I might actually be interested in what else they have going on.
+The1AndOnlyGoldenboy They're not even properly insured. Only place which demanded Uber drivers use actual commercial insurance is NYC. Everywhere else it's useless personal insurance which is cancelled if the insurer finds out, backed by a nonsense Uber policy which only really protects Uber.
+The1AndOnlyGoldenboy Sure BILLIONS for INVESTORS...Taxes,...Nah..HIDING IT
+Asymmatrix Just not true, jam required to have 250.000 pre set and 300.000 liability in Phoenix. It's just not all drivers will pay 600 a monthWhen uber uses a blanket bond. And many cab companies do this also, trying to think of one that doesn't.
+The1AndOnlyGoldenboy Please apply, and then say this. My TWIC one background check, although FBI. My FAA ID one background check. My Hazmat on my driver license 1 check. My adoption 1 check. My UBER application 5 background checks 2 Criminal 2 driving "2 state lic" 1 sexual predator.The good thing is you have a choice don't use it if you wish, but don't lie not when its as easy to apply to find out.
+Oid Mattox Right, then let's try to explain how the guy that lives 3 houses down from me became an Uber driver even though he's been arrested several times for possession of narcotics and twice for distributing controlled substances. He goes into the Houston area every day and drives people around, even though he's a criminal that has NOT gotten his act together. Bull-fucking-shit Uber does background checks.
Travis didn't sound like a visionary. He sounded like a shoplifter who found a legal way to shoplift. That made him look really bad.
@11matt11 shortly after this interview, and by shortly I mean about 6 months, he was removed by the Uber board.
And you are typing from your mom's basement.
bam. there, I now like Stephen Colbert
didn't like him before?
+Relatively Arduous do they have to come to your place w/ an uber with a feather in hand to make you tickle a laugh?
There's No way he has a 5.0 if he's a driver that's impossible
How is this impossible? I just made 250 rides, got 125 5 stars and single 1 star. Totally possible he got 5.0. And i bet he is driving 100$k car
To all taxi drivers, truck drivers, bus drivers I think we all should look for different kind of skills now and learn it. Because it looks like it coming to an end.
oorrrr we could topple the rich:)
Who came here after seeing the trailer of the movie on how uber came to be?
This video hits different after watching Super Pumped.
Super pumped!! Levit is awesome !!!
Uber is a great concept,those opposing it is the taxi industry and its rich plate owners,why would a taxi driver if he has his own car not want to be truly your own boss and not pay the rich plate owner to rent the plates and car.Only thing holding it back is liablity since using your car for commercial purposes could void a standard car insurance policy.Time is changing and too bad the taxi industry cannot accept it.
spoken like a true non-cabbie
1. Don't do Uber full time unless you're in a job search. Eventually taxes, mileage and cellular data WILL rack up.
2. Go to an airport holding lot and relax in a queue or drive in major cities during games and concerts, don't drive around and accept trips 15 minutes away in minor cities because it often times is a drunk going on a 5 minute trip home. That's how you burn money
@Don Beck Don are you an Uber driver ?
@@fastkarr8256 I was. A lot has changed since I made this comment.

i wish he drove for uber for a day to understand the struggle
they’re the ones that signed up for the job
If cars drive themselves in the future, why would we need Uber?
That’s true..
This guy seems like a total bullshitter. First saying how great uber is for drivers. Then saying how he's going for driverless cars. lol
+Kaiser Yep.
You don't get to be a CEO without being a professional bullshitter/backstabber.
+Kaiser I think he forgot he wasn't at a shareholder meeting. This sounds like common Execu-bot 2000 pre-programmed speech.
+Naryan Robinson I suggest you look up how many accidents Google's own and other self driving cars have actually been involved in. Safer my ASS.
You apparently don't understand English well. Let me break it down for you. You said driver-less cars are SAFER. I'm saying, they are not SAFER, if you look at Google's own statistics as well as the others, of how many of their own driver-less cars have been involved in crashing/crashed. The technology isn't advanced to recognize another vehicle driving ahead to know when to brake, that's why sensors are being implemented to be in all cars within a decade. Look it up. It's called Smart Braking.
NO WHERE did I state it has more accidents you dumb fuck.
I stated
"RebelRager883:23 PM
+Naryan Robinson I suggest you look up how many accidents Google's own and other self driving cars have actually been involved in. Safer my ASS."
You're the ignorant one for making assumptions and putting words in people's mouths to steer a conversation in your point of view to make other looks like a fool, when the joke's on you you pompous ass.
I'm an engineer at Ford BTW, we're heavily invested in our R&D team for driver-less cars.
We're done here. I don't have to hear from a "analyst/commentator" such as yourself when you have no experience or expertise in this field to touch on this subject matter.
Damn you could tell that this is heavily edited because of all the hecklers in the crowd...
Man, Colbert grills his guests haha
.90 cents a mile in san deigo???? Uber drivers are fed up and quiting
in new jersey its 0.66 cents. so you should be happy
@@killerkett Ummm happy? Lol
You are all poor
The taxi example he gives is totally flawed. yes, the taxi system was monopolized but Uber is monopolizing their platform in a different way. Uber can enable as many cars as they want. And, because of this, they flood the streets with as many cars as they can severely limiting any earnings a driver might make as they have to compete with more and more drivers. On Uber's side, the more drivers the better. Cast the widest net possible and collect 20-30% of every available ride.
+Jim Fath What's the problem with that? Uber is a company in a free market capitalist economy. We don't ration the supply side of the equation in a free market. As a customer, I love Uber because I get cheap rides. Why do you want to increase the price I pay?
+Eragmus I drove for Uber for 2 years in Los Angeles and stopped once it dipped below minimum wage. (Factoring in taxes, maintenance, and depreciation) The drivers that are left are inept and don't factor any of the expenses in. Taxes the most notable. The ride share companies lose countless drivers after their tax bills arrive in the first few months of the year. I'm opposed to companies leveraging contractor loop holes to end around paying people a fair wage.
+Jim Fath But think about it this way. If Uber paid a "fair wage" (i.e. translating into higher prices for customers like me), then customers will make less rides. As a customer, at least, the only reason I use Uber heavily is due to the low prices. If prices increased by a real amount, I would probably re-adjust my style to not use Uber any longer, or to use Uber far less... so no more daily use. In other words, a free market really is the best solution. The only real solution I can imagine is Uber should decrease how much it takes to a lower percentage. The other idea is drivers can become more efficient or 'smart' or 'creative' about how they work... I spoke to some drivers who said they make plenty, because they do things other drivers don't do (like wake up early and drive early morning hours, or late hours, or weekends, or hang around certain high-traffic areas like airports, etc.). Basically, in a free market, people have to be creative and innovative to get an edge.
+Eragmus profitability for drivers depends on the market. It's lousy in LA but decent in SF. It's ok in NY and Seattle but it's regulated so there are only so many drivers allowed on the road. Part of the danger Uber is running into here in LA is that drivers have to strategize and work as many platforms as they can cut corners and ditching rides. Driving simultaneously for Lyft, Uber, Side Car, Wingz, and others. Sometimes that means icing out a passenger because you get multiple requests at once. You are punished for canceling rides and denied bonuses for acceptance. Or the request is too far away and it's not worth the risk of driving. For me, toward the end of my tenure with Ride Share driving, I was accepting requests from but not picking anyone that was more than 10 minutes away. The risk of it being a short ride and a net loss was not worth it. As a passenger I've had it happen to me a few times. Usually when I'm in fringe areas. I'll see the driver on the map driving all over the place picking up other passengers on other platforms waiting for me to cancel.
Uber also lost 2 law suits based on the laws of defining employees as independent contractors and not actual employees. I think Uber is so new and groovy that people want to see how far it goes. There is a palpable effect on DUI's.
Its weird how he explained Uber Eats....was that ever the model -to have pre-made food available in temperature controlled containers in cars? Why was he trying to act like Uber Eats was somehow different from a Doordash or a Grub hub where you order your food from a restaurant wait for it to be made, wait for a driver to pick it up and wait for the driver to be deliver? Thats more than 5 minutes Travis. LOL
Sounds like these were the early days and they were optimizing the model
He didn’t wanna reveal it so competitors don’t jump on it
Great, you made the videos available to watch in Canada! Glad to see you guys listen, I was going to unsubscribe today because that has annoyed me the last few days.
I don't think Kalanick is on the same plan of existence as Stephen. Watching him trying to excuse the Australian uber scandal was humorous. He didn't lie, but his justification was uber weak. It was like if a deadly virus broke out in a town and he charged them 10 times as more for the vaccine with the justification that there were more people at the mall where it was being administered. Then taking it all away because people rushed to get it. Also, him trying to explain his food delivery idea was hilarious.
Relatively Arduous ...?
+Sarah Fisk He's saying you are a man.... no clue why.
+Sarah Fisk charging more for a vaccine does not increase the number of vaccines - raising the pay of drivers increases the number of drivers. don't you think drivers should be able to make more money when demand is high?
TheCrazyCanuck420 yeah I just had no real reply for a comment that stupid.
Max Strand Right, well the point was that scenario wasn't supposed to make sense.
I landed 4 hours late in ORD due to weather conditions and UBER prices surged 300%. So not surging during weather conditions is just bluffing.
For a CEO this guy is meh
+habbogigi well for a meh CEO he's net worth about more than $5 Billion ...
+skidhs oh yeah, I was just talking about his presence in the interview.
exactly ... u called his presence meh ... and i am stating that before calling him that look at his success ... no one is that successful by just having a meh personality
+skidhs I knew Putin was just putting on a front!
skidhs not taking away from his success in any way, but he literally said push a button for a minute straight, colbert had to ask him 30 times..doubt it was a bit
the idea they turn off surge in certain events. 'terrorist attack/ extreme weather' all that would do is mean drivers would stay home to avoid the danger. If danger is driving demand up doesnt it make sense to increase price to reflect the risk? Disagree if you will but economics are simple there will always be risk-reward in economics.
Damn he grilled that CEO 😧😧😧😧
Join Uber and will direct you to the nearest unemployment office as soon we get our driverless tech going. 👍
this was actually funny
Damn Colbert just goes for it!
yeah but he cuts out the cabbies standing up for themeslves and half the reason he even asked that question...it was definitely NOT a planned question and MOST certainly cut out the part where the cabbies stood up for themselves.
I travel around a lot. I push the button every 108 minutes!
Uber is only benefiting the riders
The drivers is having a worse treatment
If only his VCs and Co-founders did not backstab him, This man could have been the next god of transportation.
His vision, His appetite for risk and his aggression. Salute.
Backstabbed?
"We're gonna go get some french fries, 'cause they don't feed you a lot at the White House."
Oh dear, Stephen, this comment has aged dreadfully...
1:30 beautifully explained the Uber model.
Uber is overvalued.
Uber's success is predicated on a couple of things. 1. A weak economy. 2. No fingerprinting osiris suspects, I mean drivers. 3. The total lack of understanding of what it cost to operate a car as a taxi. 4. If uber goes driverless, Ford and Google will just do it cheaper and better. Uber is dead in the water and they know it
@@tonysaavedra2942 Facts! If someone on the board said this word for word on cnbc or shareholder meetings, the company would be none existent fast. Them making no profits will only make the thesis stronger.
People have to understand the taxi industry is dead, whether its uber or lyft the taxi industry cannot compete with them, its time the taxi drivers saved their $40,000 and bought a nice car, you can get one mercedes every year with that money and download a free app.
1) Uber sold Lexus cars to drivers so that they could be able to drive for their premium service (black). Now they don't allow Lexus on their Black service
2) Uber lowered their prices so drivers need to work more hours to make the same amount of money
3) Uber now takes 25% of what a driver makes whereas before it was 20%
4) Uber doesn't allow tips
5) Uber doesn't care about passenger safety since a lot of their background checks failed to stop many felons from driving
6) Uber chargers the customer more fees now than before and it DOES NOT go to the driver such as " booking fee" "Safety fee"
7) Uber dropped the fares for 5 different times in the past 3 years
8) Uber can fire you without a reason
9) Uber chargers up to 25% and whatever left you pay 20% tax on and whatever left from that you still have to pay gas and car maintenance
10) Uber CEO is very greedy and he is a prick.
Hi spam commenter. I look forward to seeing you again.
Uber doesn't allow cash tips but you can add a tip in the app.
@AmmaLeslie also, Travis was removed from Uber by the board about 6-8 months after this interview, main reason:he was a greedy asshole
@@fastkarr8256 even after he left it isn't like they turned into saints so I don't get you point
This guy is not the originator of the idea. it is his cofounder. He just good at talking
I have a lot of respect for what Travis has accomplished, but I'm unimpressed by his ability to do a basic pitch to an audience.
Ikr?! Should of been easy af him to explain it.
guess you havent done enough research on him. you should go watch testimonies against Uber or try being an Uber driver with a family. He's restructuring the industry to only bring in more low-income workers and drive out hard working reliable people. In the end, he gets rich, people make less and less in the end.
Putting Taxi Companies out of business, putting Cab drivers out of work.
I think that’s the least enthused welcome from an audience on a talk show I’ve ever heard before.
KALANICK!, YOU'RE FIRED!!!
This guy has put thousands of people on the unemployment market.
And has put hundred of thousands of drivers into cars making their own money on their own time. He's also put thousands of people on the streets into cars to get people where they need to go. Awesome!
sonic763 ya Travis is great when he lowers rates he tells his "partners"it's great news you'll make more money!!!!
An Uber driver was just murdered by a customer in Pennsylvania.
Seriously though fuck Uber
+legaliseme Why? I love Uber. I pay half the amount for a Uber ride compared to parasitic taxi drivers. Plus my Ubers are never late.
+Eragmus - You know why you pay half rate for ab Uber ride? Because you get a small fraction of the actual service. Legitimate Taxi companies have overhead. They pay for insurance, quality vehicles, vehicle maintenance, employee benefits. They have standards they have to meet and maintain. They are responsible if their driver robs you; has an accident that lands you in the hospital for 3 months; has an accident that kills you, leaving your spouse & 2 kids without a provider, has a vehicle break down that is going to make you late for the most important meeting of your life. A cab company has another vehicle that can provide another ride within minutes..... scenarios could go on forever. Kalanick & Uber are not much different than street pimps.
this lady is absolutely correct had an accident with and they drop me like a hot potato
legaliseme
DEFFINITY a UBER-CON
FUCK it.
fuck u..
This is my first time watching Stephen Colbert anything. It was fine.
I actually respect Travis much more after this video. I drive for Uber and I know that a robot will soon have my job. That's okay, things change. He makes a good point, self driving cars are here and there is nothing we can do to stop them. One way or another nearly everything will be automated in the not so distance future.
Hopefully you grew a brain 6 years later brown eye ..... that will never be a thing
Genius answer to the uber eats questions!! The competition would of stolen that shit!!
This guy is a stark example of the capitalists who squeeze their workers to make money. Cheer for him more cheap passengers!!
It’s a weird world when the boss is a celebrity weird af if you ask me
"I just keep my eyes on the road"
That's Travis for ya :)
He skated around that surcharge question 😂
Im so glad uber has a new CEO !!!
In a uber world , we wake up in the morning and make lunches, put them in our car and drive around to try and get a fare , in the meantime we lease out our home to strangers (airbnb) , we sleep in our car at night, in the morning we go to our home and do some housekeeping , make more lunches and do this all over again .
All this just to survive.
Then the driverless cars are implemented and we lose one income, then a robot starts to make lunches and the lunches are loaded in this driverless car , then we have to sell our home as we can't afford to keep it so we wind up homeless and just live in our car.
Uber world rocks? NOT.
Jeez, he needed some major media training before an interview like this.
I was working as UBER driver but now is so bad,NO money example as uberx
driver you make 1.24 x mile + .20 a minute + 2.00 base fare ., ( - )
some % for uber. if you make a trip that is 2.75 miles away,trip time 7
min aprox.,you will make 5.52 dollars. you lose like 10 min. and gas to
pick up a passenger that want to go 2.75 miles away and then you get
stuck in traffic so on the end you make less than 10 dollars per
hour.,but the worst part is that later you will need to pay your
brakes,tires and other repairs.
Brilliant interview per usual, Stephen. Adore him and SO happy with his first week back on the air! I will continue to watch :)
Interviews like this are very Colbert Report-esque. It's too bad CBS is making him throw all these other "commercialized" bits in there, like the NFL players or the Sabra bit from Night 1. If it continues like this, I'm just going to want the old Colbert Report back.
as an uber driver, former i should say, this guy is full of shit, Uber drivers barely make minimum wage and the fact that they use their own car means that they pay for gas, maintainence, insurance, and incure 100% of the risk; Uber just sits back doing nothing and makes massive profits.
+Frank S wow, I guess I should rethink my life choices, thanks for the advice my friend!
Bingo. He conveniently leaves all of those extra cost factors out. If you tally up all inevitable expenses -- at the end of the year -- you're absolutely right.
i agree
>Makes massive profits
I know this post is old but what? Uber lost 2.8 billion in 2016. Check your facts before you post nonsense, and 21 retards upvoted this like sheep.
not true.. they have discount
I can't believe he got booted out of the company I'm reading a book it was written about his company in Airbnb that beginning of the sharing economy I'm a Silicon Valley native I drove for Uber and Lyft and saw Travis speak at UCLA in 2015 play Mad respect for him but what a fall from grace
Uber is the worst thing to happen to cab industry. Jobs weren't "created" except simply allocated. Look at NYC taking huge hit with Uber.
but the cabs are controlled by the mobs, basically. you got to understand that. The medalion costs millions to get, and was controlled by a few mobs that over charge the taxi drivers. They are no good for anyone except for those mobs.
Nobody like cabs
nobody likes cabs. (even outside USA).
Uber is the greatest invention in the last 10 yrs
No lol
Travis looked so lost/dumb answering the questions, can't believe the Uber Idea come from him.
He is just running around the question sense he doesn't want to answer it directly

He didn't come up with the idea. Garrett Camp did.

You dont pay 40,000 dollars to rent
No. Instead, you borrow 97,000 to buy a limo based on false promises and then have it towed away as soon as the company changes its mind

Hi everyone how are you i think Everybody is well, i am from Bangladesh and my full time job is Uber but our countrys here some problem in uber, problem is it every trip have been problem on money
Uber Eats is awful. My food arrived one hour late! Never again. I've switched to Lyft. especially after Trump cooperative stance.
Are you still wasting delivery fees and tips on food orders or did you evolve like a proper adult?
