Remember, you heard it on DR first! From our UBER & Lyft thread... I wrote:


...Wall Street's valued Uber at $70 billion. Ford and Honda combined are are worth about $60 billion.

Number of employees

  • Uber: 1,200*
  • Ford: 187,000
  • Honda: 198,000

Uber is only 6 yrs old. It's only in 330 cities.

Uber has no inventory, owns no cars.

Industries Uber poised to disrupt:

  • Taxi's
  • Car Rentals
  • Car Ownership
  • Parking (less demand)

Uber's looking at

  • Local Delivery
  • Trucking
  • Car-pooling
