hours a day, powered by more than 26 hundred journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries, from hong kong, i'm christina harvey. this is bloomberg and "bloomberg technology" is next. i'm emily chang and this is "bloomberg technology." it workforces looking to turn a profit. we will put the action camera company in focus. test but innings investors may have missed the call. we will ask the ceo why shares are down at the cloud company. after a series of roadblocks from regulators, one of the most famous hackers in the world shares his secrets of driverless car tech with the masses.

he will tell us why head. our top story. gopro announced restructuring plans and it's cutting its workforce by 15% and shutting down its entertainment division with the goal to turn a profit inside. a few months back, the company was singing a different tune. in septembere ceo and he was optimistic about the future. >> we've got a terrific vision for the company. if there was an opportunity that helped us accelerate our vision and realize gopro on some massively larger scale, then we thatable to alone, might be something that is interesting but we are doing such a great job of executing against our vision ourselves. we are excited about the future as a standalone company. emily: joining us now to discuss the latest move, brad erickson. you have a neutral on the stock. you said you wanted to wait to see, reception to the new cameras, the drone. now with this news today, how does that impact your outlook? brad: you know, it is interesting. a pre-announcement general he

drives somewhat of a change. from our perspective, the news morning from gopro really was not that much of a change. the 335% sales growth relative to the year ago quarter that saw 1.2 million units, we think the number may need to even be higher than that. getting out of the entertainment business, that business was not driving that much revenue. so, really no impact there. the workforce reduction, they had already really guided to the opec target for 2017. telling the market today that they are going to let 15% of the company go is really just the mechanism by which they will achieve this target. from our perspective, there was not a ton incremental today. emily: they had to recall 2500 drones, after some of them lost power midair. they are facing a class-action lawsuit over this. how concerning is that to you? these are products that are

supposed to be the future of the company. brad: certainly it is a concern if you are an investor. around the drone, there isn't all that much expectation built in. investors are not giving them much credit there. so, if they can, with a product, i do not think it is looking great for this holiday. if they can get something out next year and drive a little bit of traction to that market, that could certainly help. in the near term, the company's message seemed to be a prudent one which they are narrowing their focus and concentrating on capture devices, which is the best course of action at this point. emily: so, let's talk about the cameras. what is your outlook for the holiday quarter? you have got new competition. different competition, spectacles for example. how do you think the new cameras will do this holiday? brad: we have done a lot of our loan greece -- our own research. we think the hero five black is

in line with expectations. we think the session is probably lagging expectations somewhat. our estimate is a bit below the street. we're looking for about 1.9 million units on the streets closer to 2.1 or 2.2. so, we think things are likely theome up a bit soft in holiday quarter. gopro's stock is sold short. it causes a lot of volatility. do you see the company shaking off that short interest? brad: it is difficult with these types of hardware based models. if a company goes out and sells a ton of cameras in the holiday quarter, that is awesome. the problem is we have to turn around and do the same thing all over again in the march and june quarters. that's the sort of ongoing struggle with these hardware type models. we do think there is a sustainable market for action cameras going forward, but the issue becomes is that, if they

continue to see price erosion looking out to 2017 and they faced further unit decline, i wouldn't expect that short interest to decline meaningful -- emily: how optimistic are you about the company returning to profitability next year? brad: i think they are selling a good product at 40, call it 40 something plus gross margin percentage. so, if they cut their operating expenses enough, sure, you can run this company at a profit. the issue then becomes if you are running profitability on a sort of stagnant revenue level, there is no growth for the future, and tough to find the incremental buyer of the stock. emily: we will continue to follow. brad erickson, thank you for stopping by. another story we are watching.

$100: gett just got million venture loan for russia's largest banks it used that funding to expand and russia were at double the number of cities that operatein. loan is it an option for an undisclosed number of gett shares. it has more russian cities then uber. hacker george hotz shocked the auto industry when he showed up a working autonomous car jury rigged in his garage. he would on reportedly turned down a job and elon musk, founding his own company to promise to sell self driving car kits for $999. it came to a halt last week when

regulator says hotz a warning over safety concerns. he tweeted, "would much rather spend my life building amazing tech than dealing with regulators and lawyers." we'll be exploring other markets and products. hello from china. not so fast. hotz came back today -- to announce a plan to give away his software for free. you are giving away the software for free. and you have with you the hardware. you're giving away the plans for the hardware for free. that will turn any car into a self driving car. >> is qualified both of those statements. it supports right now select -- hondas and acuras. you still have to pay attention at all times but there are certain scenarios that you can take your hands off the wheel and not touch either pedal and the car will drive by itself. emily: ok, so, regulars were not

so happy about your original plan. how do they feel about this one? >> i don't know. i have not heard from them. the regular to response i thought was very reasonable. the problem was when it came. we were not selling a product. we were not even taking preorders for a product and they were already asking me for things like a user manual under oath. easier to just cancel and pivot. emily: haven't you really just upped the ante? >> no. we are not selling a product. regulates the sale of products using the interstate commerce clause. we are just making plans available for free on the internet. that is a how more -- a lot more like free speech. openingsn't it like pandora's box, telling everyone, here is how you can make a self driving car? you're basically allowing them to do something that is illegal. it is notff, illegal. you are responsible for complying with local laws and regulations.

my understanding is if an somebody in california went and built one of these, i am not a lawyer but i think that would be legal, because technically is only an adaptive cruise control and lane keep assitst. california has the most restrictive laws, similar like texas. that's why google and uber are testing them. emily: have you made any commitment not to test yourself? >> nhtsa does not regulate testing for the only thing i wouldhtsa is that we notify them before we are making a product available for sale. emily: what kind of interest have you gotten? >> we ust opened it this morning. emily: are people is excited? what is the response? >> already, we have people talking about building them, porting them to the old tesla that did not have autopilot. that is the great thing about it being opened. this other cars we do not support, pb can download our code-- people can download our code. emily: when you said hello f

rom china, what did you mean? were you looking into regulations? >> we were looking for manufacturing partners. i did meet with a few companies there as well. i am not going to say who. you know,the other thing about open sourcing this, there are so many more jurisdictions than a u.s. the u.s. government may not like what i'm doing that other governments may and hey, we would love to work with you. emily: is china more open to it? >> i don't know what to be honest, i do not believe that it would be easier to navigate the regulatory environment in china where i do not chinese versus the u.s. but i don't know. like: so, you know, folks you have been willing to challenge regulars but more broadly, people to not want to take that kind of risk. how do you think regulations are essentially holding back self driving car technology? >> i mean, again, i can really only comment on my specific case. they try to regular product that

was not even available for sale. they actually gave me 10 days to under oath provide them the user manual for a product i'm not taking orders for. usermake a mistake in the metal, they are going to martha stewart me. -- in the user manual. emily: you said elon musk offered you a job to build self driving car software for tesla, with a multimillion dollar bonus. you turned it down. you also said your software is just as good as the latest tesla autopilot. >> i've not said the latest, the previous. emily: how does it compared to the latest? >> it is of it better. all of their autopilot cars are helping to train the other autopilot cars. once a bunch of people start building is, they communicate with our network, we train, we improve, we ship out. emily: what is your relationship with musk today? >> have not heard from them. emily: no new offers?

interestingly, president elect trump has nominated elaine chao to run the department of transportation. do you have any inkling of what she might mean for this industry? >> i looked into her policy positions a little bit. i could not find that much. the woman who he chose to do, to the lead transition committee on transportation, she came from a libertarian think tank who criticized california's steering wheel and pedal policy. for being overly restrictive, which i agree with. there has not been a single death in autonomous vehicles to date. you can talk about the all a pilot -- the autopilot one but that is a lot more of a cruise control system. to try to regulate something that has not only never caused a public safety problem but also could potentially solve a huge public safety problem, to me, seems premature. emily: let's talk about the tesla autopilot death you just referred to. there's a debate about semi-autonomous versus fully autonomous, what is safer?

what do you think is safer? what do you think most cars of the future will be fully or semi autonomous? >> there is a long path to get to fully autonomous. i do not believe that there is a path to fully autonomous cars without going to semi-autonomous. i think tesla's plan for attacking the problem is brilliant and going to succeed. if tesala is the ios. we want to be the android. we will be the ones getting the 80%. , one of thee hotz most famous hackers in the world. great to have you on the show. coming up, new -- one of 2016 allete te -- aelite tech ipo's turns. the ceo joins me next. this is bloomberg. ♪

six months, 12 months. that is the way stocks should be looked at as opposed to 24 hours. emily: so nutanix shares soared post ipo but they are down from the peak. a surprise amuch lot of people in the market in a was talk that perhaps shares were initially mispriced. talk to us about your vision for the hybrid cloud, and how it plays out in the realm of microsoft and amazon and google which are at war for territory here. >> think about it right now, there is one real leader in cloud and that is aws. microsoft has done a lot of work with -- 65, their office application cloud. be tested atill to scale. in the very early days

of thinking about what products, in the very early days of thinking about what products, what services it will build in the cloud itself. one cloud is amazon. even that has not been tested for the global 5000. we have some really large customers, 10, 15, 20 of those that probably drive the majority of the revenue from. so, what is going to look for the global 2000, the global 5000, which spends probably 80% from these 5000 companies. and they have complexity of different kinds, which is not towards the long tail of -- customers at amazon or these internet companies amazon has. i think that is where the real cloud is going to be. what you do about operating in 100 countries, hybrid security, and everything has to become hybrid and the operating system has to straddle the two sides of the aisle. this is a massive computer science problem. a massive user interface divine problem that no one has scratched the surface of yet. emily: how do you see the cloud and the hybrid cloud evolving? where are we and five to 10

years when it comes to the cloud? >> it is very similar to, in the last guest that you had on your program talking about how you go from current cars to semi taunus to fully autonomous. it is a similar journey here. it is not like computers will become a rented. there is value in renting. you would do not want to rent hotel for three or five years if you know you're going to live in the place. you're not going to rent a car for three or five years if you know you need a car for five years. i think there is going to be this yin yang between owning in renting that will shake itself up in the next 3-5 years. emily: do you think that owning will go away at some point? >> i don't think so, because if you think of going back to you own a house, car, it is not like these things are going to go away simply because there is uber and airbnb." to do similar.

you know you're going to spend workload isd your is producible, it is much cheaper to own then rent. renting has this sort of extra premium that is attached to it in terms of pricing that you might just pull the plug tomorrow and somebody needs to make money off that option now any which is what happens with hotel rooms on rental cars and so on. emily: you went public ahead of the election. i'm curious what advice you would have for companies and ceo's considering doing this right now, especially enterprise companies, what might you do differently and what might you recommend in this political environment. new political informant does not change much there aref ipos, but some policy decisions that will happen in the coming, probably year or two around immigration, around manufacturing in the u.s. things of that nature, maybe what happened in the u.s. and russia become friends as opposed to enemies. i think there are a lot of things that are open now. business in russia and cis

states and so on. all in all, i think the i.t. experience taught me you want to have a winw-in relationship with investors. you want to really understand that your employees and customers and partners still as important as stakeholders as they were when you were a private company. over rotate on the new stakeholder and maximize the shareholder value when you know it is actually a second order benefit in the first order is employees, customers and partners. emily: dheeraj pandey, ceo of nutanix. an exquisite interview. coming up, o'mallek of true ventures talking about trump and silicon valley. this is bloomberg. ♪
