the last 20 minutes of each episode gives people a vehicle into what it is like to engage with a venture capital firm. we made investments in more than a dozen companies and it gives people an opportunity to watch what those conversations look like. where did we asked for questions for more information? where were we ok with the risk? for an entrepreneur trying to raise capital to realize the opportunity, it is going to give them a dry run as to what that is going to look like. >> can't wait to give it a watch. thank you for joining us. donald has announced his intent to nominate jessica to fill the democratic slot at the federal communications commission. she served until the end of 2016 when lawmakers failed to take up

memories of. that is important to them. >> when can we expect mobile games to be a majority of nintendo's revenue? >> great question. today the vast majority of revenue is driven by our dedicated games business. mobile is one of two other key platforms as we think about our growth. the relationship we are doing with other companies like universal studios is going to be important to us. i would say what we are doing with the licensed merchandise area, these are all of the different areas nintendo is going to drive revenue and profitability into the future. emily: you have more than $8 million on your balance sheet.

do you plan to use it on m&a? >> it depends on the opportunity and how we can do something that would add value to the business. we have been a highly profitable company. we are not eager to make any type of mood. to the extent it can help us drive our strategic focus areas there is the possibility. emily: what about virtual reality? how bullish are you? >> here is what is interesting. i would say the amount of content this year is dramatically down. we have said all along that virtual-reality needs to be fun and social. it hasn't and able to do either of those things yet. we think augmented reality is potentially a more interesting space.

pokemon go and what that did in the augmented reality space was important to our company. we are continuing to look at these technologies. in the realm of virtual-reality we are continuing to evaluate whether or not this is going to be an important trend for the consumer. emily: ok. and you as always for stopping by. coming now, one of the biggest unicorns in europe going after uber. we will hear from the founder next. and you can find our new interactive function. if you miss interview go back to it, since our producers a message, play along with the charts. this is bloomberg subscribers only. this is bloomberg. ♪

issues with regard to what is currently the vr experience. the fact that the experience is solitary, it can create discomfort. nausea. there are all kinds of problems associated that make it somewhat inconsistent with the way people consume entertainment and interact with entertainment. emily: here is the chart on the bloomberg i mentioned earlier. take to outperforming the broader market. activision and blue. videogame stocks in general on the rise over the last year. a quick programming note. this thursday, cisco chair john chambers will join daybreak america in paris for an exclusive interview. this is bloomberg. ♪

emily: automakers are seeking permission to put more experimental self driving cars on the road to speed up development. car companies are asking congress to expand the cap on how many cars can be deployed under waivers them safety regulators according to the alliance of automobile manufacturers. they were asking congress to clarify statements of roles and regulations that implicitly require a human driver. speaking of self driving cars, after years of toiling away in secret, tim cook elaborated on the company's plans in the automotive market in our exclusive interview.

>> a thanh amis is something that is incredibly exciting for us. we will see where it takes us. we are not saying from a product been to view what we will do. but we are paying straightforward that it is a core technology that we view is very important. emily: our interview with tim cook spurred analysis. others are taking notice. carl joins us now, the parent company of the kelley blue book and auto trader. thank you for joining us. the most detailed yet, but still high level. somewhat vague. >> eventually it could lead to the apple car that we have been thinking about in hearing for five years different rumors.

in the near term it will lead to collaboration between apple and current carmakers similar to what waymo is already doing. you could see a world where just like our phones are androids or apple phones, we could have a circumstance where our cars, technology are powered by apple or google-based technology and operating systems. >> as apple potentially goes to market do you see them partnering with a manufacturer or more likely coming to market with a car of its own? >> probably all three in sequence. i think they will partner with an automaker and start to make them power their own baton of his vehicle systems and eventually they could become a final producer of car designs that the automakers make for

them, making the automakers a tier one supplier for apple. emily: there are two mobile operating systems that are dominant. do you see the same for cars or more? >> that is a great question. we could end up with more initially. we could end up with somewhere between five and 10 at the initial stages. it would get down to two or three, like our phones are now. that is likely what we will see in the next 10 years. emily: apple is far behind when it comes to cars. this is something google has been working on for a long time. can apple catch up? >> i think they can. it is not a hardware situation or an automaker were you have all of these suppliers. if you have the brain trust and

the focus you can get there quickly. you have to be careful how you do it. you don't want to take information from other companies. players are claiming that what -- that is what happened to them. they have changed direction on how they want to execute it but i don't feel like they are starting from ground zero at all. they have a lot under their belt. >> tim cook mentioned his excitement around electric cars. he doubled down when he heard these comments from tim cook saying tesla has a lot of competition ahead. do you agree? >> i do. there are plenty of well-funded long-standing players on the tech side, on the automotive production side, and tesla is a newcomer.

they are trying to figure out how to have long-term funding that is sustainable. they've got plenty of challenges that go beyond developing a self driving car. someone like apple can focus on this. they've already got their current business model in place. emily: tesla already has cars on the road. apple has nothing as far as we know. >> but tesla has done that in an unsustainable way financially. at some point they have to make enough cars to be profitable. until then they can make a lot of claims but nothing looks sustainable. a lot of what they have got accomplished other players can do as much or more. they are just as capable as tesla is. emily: what about a company like gm? what does it mean for a more established automaker trying to take on these tech giants?

>> that is a great move for general motors. ultimately you need the three major elements of this to work. you need the car with a lot of internal space. you'd need the technology that directs the car when there is no human involve. gm has the car and a lot of the work on the technology. they can partner to get the rest of the way. the third like is the regulations and the government helping it all come together. that one is harder to predict. if those three things come together things will happen quickly. gm is a long way along the race in this to get to the car. they have a lot of things moving in the right direction. emily: tim cook got the auto industry talking. thank you so much for joining us. that does it for this edition of
