Driverless cars are a pipe dream. They will never happen as they can't be on the same road as humans. They would need their own infrastructure. It's way too dangerous. Definitely not level 2 cars. Uber will definitely fail if they're investing all their money in this. Remember, Ford had Argo in Pittsburgh, and it failed miserably. They lost tons of money.
Remember when Uber created an autonomous vehicle company and sunk a lot of money into it, then sold it in 2020. They abandoned their dream of a fleet of autonomous Uber taxis. Why are they trying this again? They failed once, now they are trying it again.
How many airplanes are carrying passengers without human pilots? That question is the business analogy to driverless automobiles. Autopilot has existed for half a century. Autopilot has been technically better than any human pilot for better than 30 years... so, how many passenger planes leave the ground on any given day with only a computer as the pilot? The answer is ZERO. Well over half a hundred years beyond true Autopilot, the number of airplanes that leave the ground ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD without a human pilot is ZERO. Forget what stockholders and board members tell you. Forget what the Technocrats tell you. Because it is the politician and the beaurocrat who decides... and as long as they won't let airplanes fly without pilots, they won't let automobiles drive without drivers. Period. I realize that we agree, and I am not arguing your initial point; I am suggesting the best method of strengthening your position beyond the point of argument. Whether they technically can or not, vehicles will not be allowed to operate absent a living human operator for reasons well beyond technical capacity. Even a train still has a human operator... on rails. Still has a human pilot on rails 250 years later. Then there is the collective danger aspect of malicious actors. What happens when Tesla or Apple or Microsoft or whichever company is allowed to control millions of vehicles at terminal velocities? What happens when they get hacked by some next gen Bin Laden? Very few humans can be convinced to fly an airplane into a building... but computers will do anything they are told to do. Ten million automobiles on one hacked network combined with a few dozen lines of malicious code and it's instantly 9-11 times 10,000 worldwide on every street and highway everywhere.
@@ericwolfe8119 Exactly , they want to get to the future as if we aren't going to get there, while also maximizing profits. When you have wealth , too much time, with ego and no true grasp on the crutches of humanity, you can tend to lead to extremes. To entertain this is a waste of time and they do not want to grasp the reality behind the matter but im not wealthy so what do I know. They now have to use those driverless vehicles for uber eats as it has reached its usage capacity which is a loss of investment compared to just hiring a driver which now puts extra labor on the restaurant and consumer. smh
As a delivery specialist, I really need to see those numbers they "announced" from the paperwork.... I can assure you there's no way earnings are up that much when I'm watching the average order offer decline by 10% or more every month..... there's no way earning are up at that rate for drivers.... is it possible were actually being forced to take more trips to acquire the same money, by the numbers??? My data would say yes....
The 20,000 on the wait list in NYC are the migrants. Food delivery is bottom of the barrel here in NYC.. Cant imagine risking my life to get to America just to deliver DD/Uber eats... $3 is great money to people who literally have nothing, and these companies know it. Exploitation at its finest
Uber and Volvo made a announcement for a purchase of 30k Volvos for the self driving fleet. in 2017 Almost 7 years agio. What no one is talking about, is where the tech truly is, and how far it really is from reality. Electric Vehicles, Self Driving cars, Electric Semi, these techs are practical on such a small scale it can not be applied to a large scale pool, because the tech is not scalable. Automatous cars use a technology that can NOT transfer to large scale roll due to tech limitation. Keeping this in the spot light, talking about it and pushing the platforms allow massive investments from VC and governments. That is the sole purpose to consistently promoting and talking about it.
I live in an affluent area north of Atlanta. Hardly any orders at all and most of them are twice as far as the dollar amount of the offer. If the economy doesn't turn around soon some of the apps will fail.
Pizza places charge more for their products when being delivered . If you want it cheaper - you can order for pickup (which is much cheaper) . They have been doing this for years and that is how they pay their drivers . They need to do the same with regular restaurants and people won't be bother by the extra delivery fee add ons . Most people don't notice the extra charges when it is hidden elsewhere and they can always get the regular price on pick-up . This way all of the drivers can be reasonably compensated and everyone will have a better experience .
Over 60% of my income doing UE and DD comes from shop and deliver. Once you get acclimated with your local stores you get orders done very quickly and the algorithm will send you more high paying orders.
I only did two instacarts today Memorial Day weekend and hyvee online management told me they were short drivers on Friday and had give incentives bc number of orders coming in so could made lots or not because Osage Beach covers a few neighborhoods and most time today was shopping or driving. I only got a couple Uber eats and door dash orders today. One Uber eats was from hyvee as shop and deliver only one from restaurant. If I go out tomorrow I’m thinking I’ll only accept DoorDash or Uber Eats restaurant orders bc time instacart takes
@@chem.4919 Because the US government is never going to give Tesla the green light to roll out self driving without extensive testing that isnt using the general public as beta testers. You are already seeing the repercussion and regulations on this from the small sample size of driverless right now off of what 3500 ish pilots? Imagine the amount of accidents once thats scaled up for 300 million people. it will never get off the ground. Will have those sidewalk roaming robots before teslas delivering food.
Who’s going in the resturants? Who’s accepting the order? Who will hit the button to say “order did not start until I showed up”? These apps are WAYYYYYY to ahead of themselves. Gig apps will fail soon. There are too many things that can happen without an actual human being for a smooth transition.
@@CYCLEGAMER1 The human element of delivery will not be replaced. Just because you can get an AI on the road, doesn't mean it's smart enough to handle issues, pick up, or drop off. If they sink money into it, it will be just that, a money sink.
I glad that our state passed a law a few years ago, that self driving cars must always be in control by a human being. So simply they would need to petition state law and create a possible public vote.
Can you address the issue of take rate? Initial vision was that Uber would take a maximum of 25% of driver gross earnings. Recent research shows it closer to 55%. That, combined with the reduction in drivers incentives, shows a pattern of driving profitability over growth and customer satisfaction.
Another thing too, it was on local radio when I was crossing the border into wisconsion, I dont know which state it was, Minnesota or Wisconsion that was talking about removing the tip culture from the state and raising the prices on food so the restaurant industry can survive and thrive as the UK was always done this is why there restaurants thrive! So, if the gig apps jack the price up and remove tips, because who would tip a robot? Or a self driving car!!! Or tip a robot!!! So as the end of things the culture gets use to paying a higher base pay and then they remove drivers!! I dont think customers would be afffected nor care one bit, bad media on drivers exposing themselves and bad media on drivers frowning on tips!!! That would be the final transition for A.I. and Robotics to take over !!!!!!
People are lending their vehicles to low wage illegal immigrants and splitting the payout. There is a lot of exploitation happening and it looks like Instacart is turning a blind eye to it.
I'm not in a metro area so orders are low pay high miles. (ie- $6 for 8+ miles - so that's really like 16 miles because you have to basically return from which you came). I think Uber should pay more per order to compensate those of us in typical low volume areas. My AR is very low because I typically don't take low orders, but that also means I don't get a lot of orders.
I think the shop and pay orders are going to increase. Presently, I have the shop and pay button turned off. Twice a week I already get these emails about getting more opportunities for shopping. Several times, they have turned on my shop and pay button without my permission. 😕
A day is coming when human labor will be more valuable than gold, these companies will seek for human efforts/labor but wouldn't get it and that's where these billionaires will crumbles because they ignored the hands that feed them. These drivers will begin to deal directly with clients soonest, and that will bring these big gig companies down. I said it, and you guys should see this coming in less than 4 years from now
Facinating video Mike, Impressed u were willing to put this out! From my understanding most new cars these days have the ability for self driving, it just needs to be activated as all! I heard this some time back from alternative podcasts that I listen too. Scary in one sense, due to the need for humans in the limo industry and food delivery industry etc... There is a McDonalds in california that is self powered by robots, not sure if you knew that.
Mike, I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your videos over the past year. I have been driving for DoorDash and Walmart Spark and if not for your videos I would not be where I’m at today.. You taught me how to stay profitable with the orders that I take. I really appreciate your videos. I’ve done so well doing this because of what I learned from from you starting up thank you again good luck in your journey, my friend. !
I'm in Pittsburgh as well. I have watched it continuously decline as far as the amount I'm earning. It's always a new game. Constantly trying to get another dime out of me.
Shop and pay at least in Toronto Canada, where I am 99% of them are lowball orders that I refuse. Minimum that I take in Canadian currency is a dollar per kilometre and a dollar per item. That’s minimum! And it’s rare to see that. And if you do get a minimum, the problem is that it’s so far away have to come all the way back. It’s just not worth it so minimum it’s but it’s minimum pay so unless it’s items and that’s me. Me. 22 items 5 km for instance
Tesla took a huge hit here in California. Especially with the recall of the batteries. I have however seen an influx in Uber Eats orders so maybe they will get with the cost of living and higher the pay per order.
7,000,000 drivers/couriers earned $16.6 billion in 2024 Q1, averaging $2,371.43 per person. Now sure the question is how many of those drivers are active.
Let's talk about when you to trade your car in for something newer. Something I just did. My 2016 accord. The excess miles cost me between 4 & 5K. Factor this into your monthly earnings.
.. South Florida has these Tesla offers on the app. .. not cheap. .. but I see drivers using them to deliver .. would love one but , not with what they pay us .. doesn't match ..
I wonder if anyone out there can answer my question? I dashed Saturday a few hours and I check my ratings and see I got a 1 rating from a customer. Everything went smooth. I believe it was from a stacked order from a restaurant. I clicked picked up order on first one. While waiting for the second one I kept first one in doordash bag. I think maybe second customer saw me not go straight to there place. It was totally not my fault
@@aaronwood1846Doordash sent me to a restaurant for 2 orders. First order was ready in 2 mins. I had to wait about 7 or 8mins for 2nd one. I went on to deliver the 2 separate orders at 2 different addresses. Everything went smooth for entire dash. When I checked my rating I see I got a 1 star.
So let me get this straight...instacart added restaurant food option button now...and those orders will all be delivered by uber drivers soon? Not sure if i got that right...thanks
Instacart is doing a partnership with uber eats and what they really mean to say is that uber will be buying Instacart in the near future all they did was sugar coat it . It already started happening here in st louis so now uber eats drivers are taking are work while we sit.But yet we don't see anything from the uber eats side so this did not benefit Instacart people at all The owner of Instacart is desperate so she basically threw everyone under the bus.
I am in Seattle and its been fantastic the last few months. Hire less drivers if you think it's oversaturated, we are after all in a recession. I will gladly keep these higher paying orders. It's all propaganda, less on the road making more money is how every business should work
Totally agree. The top days are similar but my worst days are much better. I had dead days before where I'd make $17-20 on 4 orders in 2 hours. Now I might get a single $20-30 grocery order and be able to call it and go home if it looks to be dead. There were rocky times and people in my area left, but DoorDash and Uber were also endlessly advertising before this went into effect, presumably so that they could get these exact metrics to use against City Council. It's all political and the companies have been preparing for 2 years to get this to fail. But most delivery people still really like it! That's the rub! The pro-business city council thought they could overturn this in a month and here we are four months later with what looks like a 4-4 vote and a mayoral veto lined up. If you haven't, be sure to email your council member and consider showing up on Tuesday to make sure that we don't get this overturned.
Hey Mike! Hope you're doing well!🎉❤ Once again, another great analysis and good content!🎉❤ Keep them rolling and may all your shifts be prosperous and stay stafe, always!🎉❤
I do Uber for extra cash. If I can make $200 in a week then I'm happy. But lately, it's been harder to make $200, so I've been cutting back. This month I only did it twice. Last month I did it once. June, I ll probably do it for a bit. But it's time for a new gig! I'm in Los Angeles, it's just not worth it and it's getting more dangerous!
When I saw that Uber was offering driver incentives for renting a Tesla, I automatically assumed they were actually gathering road and driver data for autonomous vehicles. Hmmm...
I have heard nothing but horror stories about electric cars and delivery services. You put way too much milage on the battery too quickly and the warranty will not cover replacing it due to this extreme.
Your definitely working in the wrong area I’m making an average of 100$ in 4 hours on weekends 150$ in 5 hours. I drive 30min out and go to the richer areas because it doesn’t cost them to tip that’s where you make your money in tips
I have a Tesla with capable self driving. When Tesla is eventually ready to launch its self driving ride share app, I’ll be switching to Tesla to use my car for self driving, not Uber.
UE and their crappy pay has now migrated to Walmart deliveries. it pays worse than Spark. UE has been in the past, desperate overflow for Walmart when they couldnt get it done and they paid triple or quadruple Spark. now its about $5 to haul 500lbs of groceries to somebody's 3rd floor apartment. no thanks
Funny u made this vid, I mean everything matches up, past 2 weeks of less I have had nothing but alcohol orders and shop n pays like 85% hit me! I got so sick of booze runs and shops that I been rejecting like mad to do a cheeseburger run, the referral bonus is now at 0 as they must have flooded the market. To make 200 dollars takes now 12hrs on avg!!! well especially on weekands and some lunch and dinner rushes I am seeing through out the week! I am meeting new drivers everywhere I go lol!!! But what ever its there platform. I understand the need to oversaturate lol but I suspect this has boosted profits! I think by the looks of things uber did this before doordash for over saturating. Dont get me wrong with everything I said, I still reject and see good orders.
Uber will quickly go back to real drivers when those driverless vehicles start going berserk and they realize they will be responsible for anything that will happen.
In San francisco bay area, customers pay more upfront for the ride and pay drivers less-and in many cases Uber is taking more $$ for themselves--if uber continues $$ knab Uber will start suffering losses--both $$ and availability of drivers!
It's amazing they even have anybody left to hire after all the people they have banned form the platform all the false reports just crazy and I was a cab driver for 20 years.
Let's be clear. Number 1. In these states where there are minimum wage requirements uber and these northern gig companies did not have to increase the fees for customers. They are a billion dollar company and could afford their imam pay without increasing fees. In fact if they had lowered fees there would have been more volume of orders. You just limit ur intake of new drivers. Second why did uber partner with instacart. One we all see the merger take over happening. They are gonna deny it but look what happened to corner shop, post mates, and drizzly. And why is ur market share not improving on its own thatnyou had to go piggy back on another platform to introduce urself to a market that's already there? Could it be that restaurants are so sick of gig companies that they can't afford adding more than door dash? There are layers to this onion that they are not going to tell u
The companies have yet to justify their $5 fees here in Seattle. They clearly want the bills to fail. They're absorbing the costs, sure, but are they the costs of trying to overturn the law by capping business to anger restaurants and cause our much more conservative new Council to concede to the apps or is it the actual realistic costs of delivery? Somewhere in the middle? Unclear since they won't share any data... But they didn't spend tons endlessly advertising the fees when they put them in place in California so at least some of this seems to be politically motivated, especially since we know of at least two other states looking at similar bills.
Don't worry, IT WONT HAPPEN... And its customers will sign a big NO in the court system if it does happen on a massive scale. The customer always WINS. We vote with our wallet and we vote in court
Honestly, I think it’s going to be a huge shi*show. Uber and companies alike profit off of paying the least to operate business. Plus with their reputation is already pretty bad. I hope we all collectively boycott them. Hell we should and could make our own business transporting people and delivering food! At the end of the day I will always support businesses that are ethical and supporting people, not technology 👏 Until we all get universal basic in come, until then I won’t be supporting businesses like Uber.

It already started happening here in st louis so now uber eats drivers are taking are work while we sit.But yet we don't see anything from the uber eats side so this did not benefit Instacart people at all
The owner of Instacart is desperate so she basically threw everyone under the bus.
I am in Seattle and its been fantastic the last few months.
Hire less drivers if you think it's oversaturated, we are after all in a recession. I will gladly keep these higher paying orders.
It's all propaganda, less on the road making more money is how every business should work
Totally agree. The top days are similar but my worst days are much better. I had dead days before where I'd make $17-20 on 4 orders in 2 hours. Now I might get a single $20-30 grocery order and be able to call it and go home if it looks to be dead.
There were rocky times and people in my area left, but DoorDash and Uber were also endlessly advertising before this went into effect, presumably so that they could get these exact metrics to use against City Council. It's all political and the companies have been preparing for 2 years to get this to fail. But most delivery people still really like it! That's the rub! The pro-business city council thought they could overturn this in a month and here we are four months later with what looks like a 4-4 vote and a mayoral veto lined up.
If you haven't, be sure to email your council member and consider showing up on Tuesday to make sure that we don't get this overturned.
Enjoy it now because it ain't going to last.
Every company in the US will go fully Autonomous when the tech/cost arrives
Hey Mike!
Hope you're doing well!🎉❤ Once again, another great analysis and good content!🎉❤ Keep them rolling and may all your shifts be prosperous and stay stafe, always!🎉❤
Have no plans to ever go shopping so this would be a pass for me
Sure. Let’s see a driverless car get out of Miami on a Friday afternoon at 4pm and see if it anyone lets it in.
I do Uber for extra cash. If I can make $200 in a week then I'm happy. But lately, it's been harder to make $200, so I've been cutting back. This month I only did it twice. Last month I did it once. June, I ll probably do it for a bit. But it's time for a new gig! I'm in Los Angeles, it's just not worth it and it's getting more dangerous!
When I saw that Uber was offering driver incentives for renting a Tesla, I automatically assumed they were actually gathering road and driver data for autonomous vehicles. Hmmm...
I have heard nothing but horror stories about electric cars and delivery services. You put way too much milage on the battery too quickly and the warranty will not cover replacing it due to this extreme.
UEs and DD are dead.. i work 10 hours and all i make is 100$ or less. Its rare when i make 120$. I wait hours.. HOURS for an offer.
look at the map and go where it is busy. it shows you where the orders are coming in
It also depends on the market they live in
@@arresthillary9502 it doesn't work like that lo those "hot zones" are bs lol. I've been in those hot zones and not one order would come.
Your definitely working in the wrong area I’m making an average of 100$ in 4 hours on weekends 150$ in 5 hours. I drive 30min out and go to the richer areas because it doesn’t cost them to tip that’s where you make your money in tips
Last Uber promo was drive so many trips get x. Lyft was the same do so many rides get extra $50 which barely covers my gas
I have a Tesla with capable self driving. When Tesla is eventually ready to launch its self driving ride share app, I’ll be switching to Tesla to use my car for self driving, not Uber.
When they realize they have to maintain these driverless vehicles, they will suddenly wish they had their drivers back.
UE and their crappy pay has now migrated to Walmart deliveries. it pays worse than Spark. UE has been in the past, desperate overflow for Walmart when they couldnt get it done and they paid triple or quadruple Spark. now its about $5 to haul 500lbs of groceries to somebody's 3rd floor apartment. no thanks
Funny u made this vid, I mean everything matches up, past 2 weeks of less I have had nothing but alcohol orders and shop n pays like 85% hit me! I got so sick of booze runs and shops that I been rejecting like mad to do a cheeseburger run, the referral bonus is now at 0 as they must have flooded the market. To make 200 dollars takes now 12hrs on avg!!! well especially on weekands and some lunch and dinner rushes I am seeing through out the week! I am meeting new drivers everywhere I go lol!!! But what ever its there platform. I understand the need to oversaturate lol but I suspect this has boosted profits! I think by the looks of things uber did this before doordash for over saturating. Dont get me wrong with everything I said, I still reject and see good orders.
Uber will quickly go back to real drivers when those driverless vehicles start going berserk and they realize they will be responsible for anything that will happen.
I feel like we the drivers will never really make money unless we drive 12 hours a day.
In San francisco bay area, customers pay more upfront for the ride and pay drivers less-and in many cases Uber is taking more $$ for themselves--if uber continues $$ knab Uber will start suffering losses--both $$ and availability of drivers!
It's amazing they even have anybody left to hire after all the people they have banned form the platform all the false reports just crazy and I was a cab driver for 20 years.
Around the holidays I get the deliver 3 get $3 bonus
At least they will have to buy and maintain their own fleet of vehicles
Whos walking my food to the door fool!!!!!! Like the restaurants wamt to load these cars.
yeah, thats gonna go over like a lead balloon
Let's be clear. Number 1. In these states where there are minimum wage requirements uber and these northern gig companies did not have to increase the fees for customers. They are a billion dollar company and could afford their imam pay without increasing fees. In fact if they had lowered fees there would have been more volume of orders. You just limit ur intake of new drivers. Second why did uber partner with instacart. One we all see the merger take over happening. They are gonna deny it but look what happened to corner shop, post mates, and drizzly. And why is ur market share not improving on its own thatnyou had to go piggy back on another platform to introduce urself to a market that's already there? Could it be that restaurants are so sick of gig companies that they can't afford adding more than door dash? There are layers to this onion that they are not going to tell u
People need stop supporting AI and autonomous vehicles before takes everybody jobs
Love how the ceo of a driving company was never a driver hahah
Can you please research the data of immigrants saturation of the app?
Why stay independent when they are willing to kick you to the curb. Find your hustle and get it without these companies
Id never get a car without a real driver. And gig workers cant afford telsas
.. pretty soon we'll all have a Tesla as a second car , because they'll be so cheap . Prices keep dropping on those cars ..
Hmm i called this about Seattle and ny when I first heard about the regulations
The companies have yet to justify their $5 fees here in Seattle. They clearly want the bills to fail. They're absorbing the costs, sure, but are they the costs of trying to overturn the law by capping business to anger restaurants and cause our much more conservative new Council to concede to the apps or is it the actual realistic costs of delivery? Somewhere in the middle? Unclear since they won't share any data... But they didn't spend tons endlessly advertising the fees when they put them in place in California so at least some of this seems to be politically motivated, especially since we know of at least two other states looking at similar bills.
💯!!!!!!!!!
Don't worry, IT WONT HAPPEN... And its customers will sign a big NO in the court system if it does happen on a massive scale.
The customer always WINS. We vote with our wallet and we vote in court
Honestly, I think it’s going to be a huge shi*show. Uber and companies alike profit off of paying the least to operate business. Plus with their reputation is already pretty bad. I hope we all collectively boycott them. Hell we should and could make our own business transporting people and delivering food! At the end of the day I will always support businesses that are ethical and supporting people, not technology 👏 Until we all get universal basic in come, until then I won’t be supporting businesses like Uber.
Im already looking for a real job. Uber eats sucks but instacart is way worse
Driverless cars are gonna be a disaster
AI can only do so much Limited Humans will never be completely removed Regardless how AI is programmed
Uber sucks!
It will happen. Just a long way to go just yet...
That's why they are pushing 5 G towers.
Wonder if economy will hold all these changes considering foreign policy of our deranged government and sanctions lol
I cant use slave labor. So thats fair
Deliver to apartment complexes. Go ahead, I dare you. Bless your shiny little head for trying.
Instacart sucks
Donald Trump has a white hood at mara lago!
@@mr.e2136clearly. Sheeple so foolish.
Some people just can’t leave politics well enough alone.
They won’t be able to deactivate robots 🥲🤣
