How terrible. Having to spend 1-2 minutes downloading an app. Expect Austin to occur elsewhere (Uber and Lyft leaving due to local regulation, and competitors filling the void).
It's not the 1-2 minutes to download it, it's when I roll off a flight into some new city I've never been to before, how do I know what app to use?

Google it like everyone has googled everything for the past 15 years.

#423Also on track to have the first self driving car AND a ride hailing application to boot. That can't be cheap.
I don't know how people get this impression, unless it is by only reading the comments on this site and never reading any primary sources. Uber's "self-driving" tech is currently unable to do things that other companies were doing years ago. Google's car took a blind man to Taco Bell in 2012. Uber's car has two engineers in the front seat and still blows stop lights and can't make a right turn.

To some degree, Juno's stated differentiator is being the best ride hail app from the drivers perspective by: - 50% of founder equity goes to drivers - 10% vs 20-25% cut of fares - no pooled concept (this may be purely because they're too small to support it, though it is also unpopular with drivers
Why do I care what the drivers like? I don't buy any other products or services based on the happiness of the workers. Uber still has the most drivers and the cheapest prices.
