[sfx: mnemonic] ♪ announcer: from our studios in new york city, this is "charlie rose." here.e: jean liu is she is the president of didi chuxing. it is china's and the world's largest ridesharing company. she also offers services like bike sharing and car rentals. alibaba, apple, and softbank are among the renters -- investors. i am pleased to have jean liu at the table for the first time. welcome. jean: thank you for having me here. charlie: we have looked forward to this. you have set a very interesting

thing. you said it is really a world-class dilemma how to move around 800 million urban chinese. how are you solving this dilemma? jean: yes, actually that is one of my biggest motivations joining this company three years ago. i'll give you a story. right after i joined didi, there was a coder coming to my office saying that i wanted to resign -- she wanted to resign. when i asked her why, she said because she got pregnant. i told her, you can still work here if you get pregnant. she said it was the commute that was hurting her, standing up for three hours, switching between buses and trains. there are 800 million chinese that ride 1.4 billion times every day. for us, when we narrow how many people have this much need, we basically design a product for them. the difference between us and a lot of other players is we offer a full range of services.

product car just share like here in the u.s., private cars, taxis, bicycles, and carpooling. there are very interesting local products we are trying to connect with people. charlie: how many cities in china are you operating in? jean: 400. 400 cities. and a lot of them are megacities, very different from cities here. when you think about cities here, i think new york is a huge city already, but there are more than 15 cities in china bigger than new york. charlie: 15 cities bigger than new york? jean: 15. i think in terms of population, there are six cities in the states that are bigger than 6 million, but that number in china is 44.

in the states, ridesharing is nice to have. is doing great, but almost every family here has one or two should -- cars. but in china, only 10% of people have cars. people still want to have a decent ride. commute i would say is the number one challenge. course, pollution, of coming when you have a megacity. the air i see my kids playing every day in, it pains me to see that. also, safety is another thing we should be really mindful about. there are so many people on the streets. the road accidents, the rate just increased. issues.e a lot of we think the industry we are in is so impactful that there is

something we can do to help solve this. charlie: you made a speech at the bloomberg business for him -- forum about the future of cities. what did you tell them? jean: basically, the bloomberg forum is for people i understand, for people to come together and talk about world challenges and how we can collaborate together. one of the key challenges i see, as we were talking about in your first question, when the cities become bigger, when there's more population, everyone wants a good quality lifestyle, but at the same time, how can we solve the resource issue? when the city becomes bigger, somehow we feel there is less space and time for us. how can we basically utilize the resources more efficiently? living in theel city can still make me feel happy with inner peace?

my key point is future cities should be built around people rather than built about parking lots or vehicles. let's do something that adopts technology to make that happen. charlie: both in terms of attacking urban problems as well as business challenges, artificial intelligence, and the use of big data have become tools, yes? house of? -- how so? jean: in our business, if you think about it, let's put away the jargon and think about what the technology is really doing to help us. let's say a passenger is standing in the street. turn on the app and click a button. he wants a ride now as fast as possible. is key to ourit

bad weather, there's no cars around. he cannot get it. there are two things. number one is deep learning technology. basically we are training the system that can predict in the corner minutes, on every of the city, how many ride requests will be coming up. even before the person presses the button, we can dispatch a him.o arrive and meet that is the predictive capability that is part of the artificial intelligence capability. secondly, a lot of people think, why don't you just dispatch the closest car to you? but we tell you on the map it is with an but it could be event, there are roadblocks. there's traffic control. there are one-way situations. the closest car may not be the most efficient. we just know the system keeps

learning what is going on in the local area. it might sound a bit boring, but if you think about it, this technology is helping everyone to get a ride faster. if you time that 225 million rides -- if you time that to 25 million rides a day, because we are completing 25 million rides a day -- every second in a peak hour, 600 rides. every second, 600 rides delivered. there are millions of calculations underneath it.. that is one application when people talk about ai. it sounds like a very big word, but in real life and in our industry, the application actually helps people to commute better. i think that is the beautiful part of it. charlie: there was a giant competition between uber and

didi in china. how did you beat them? how did you beat the scary uber? jean: [laughter] first of all, i should clarify, the chinese rideshare market or the internet market has always been very very competitive. charlie: you are competing with others before uber. jean: when we started the business, there were 30 players doing the same thing. but we did relatively better -- charlie: how did you do it? jean: we understand the local user's need better than others. a lot of times, people get carried away by competition, because sometimes competition is fun. you talk about winning and losing, catching the headline news. everyone is so excited about it. from our perspective, the real competition is how can you serve your customers better?

or passenger? for our businesses, look, there are so many people who cannot get a rideshare, so let's carpool. even during the competition, we launched three different new businesses. we see that people want to grab a drink after work. it is extremely dangerous if there's a dui situation. we send you a designated driver to meet you at the bar or at a party, and he can drive you back home, so you don't need to drive. charlie: so you just send a driver. jean: yes. we send the driver. charlie: so he takes your car. jean: yes. exactly. it is better for safety. you will not hit any passengers on the road. carpooling, how we can pull more people.

everyone can have a more affordable ride. these are the things we innovated or created during the competition. --rlie: there is one story generally, so many of the companies, certainly in your area in transportation, have a relationship to the big three companies -- $.10, alibaba, and i do -- baidu. jean: yes, in one way or another. we also have a nice relationship with apple. cook signed a $1 billion check to invested in your company. jean: yes, we are very thankful. [laughter] .lso to softbank and masa charlie: this is what tim cook said about you in time magazine 100 list, which is an annual list of people who are the most influential.

disruptor, and not only threw her ambitious effort to change the way through people in china commute, travel, and interact with one another, but through didi chuxing, she , jean has built a transportation platform that offers convenience and compatibility. areand for -- her team aiming to improve the efficiency , and so easing the roadways by problems.computer didi can help traffic jams go the way of the flip fun. -- flip phone." is that true? if you succeed, you can eliminate traffic jams? those are really nice

comments. we are working with 20 cities in china right now. we are working together on common projects. one common goal we had together is how can we cut congestion. it is the top problem bothering them every day. we say, let's redesign the traffic signal system and the vehicle link system -- link -- length system. it was outdated. , the result ise extremely encouraging after only three months of work. construction time got reduced by 20% to 40%, just after three months of work. think about it, 20% of anyone's time on the road, if you add that together, that is

tremendous. it is only a short period of time. when we shared this result with other cities, everyone thought, wow, let's do this, too. when we spoke to our partners in brazil -- as you know, we have local champions. we call them champions. why don't you come to our city and we can do it together? it is good. with believe this is -- the right application of technology, we can cure congestion. charlie: and environmental issues. jean: yes, and with carpooling, as you mentioned. we pool 4 million passengers every day, and the numbers are growing. that means every day we take away millions of tons of carbon emissions. it is very intuitive.

that is why tim mentioned us. charlie: one of the other things your company does is you invest a lot of startups, too. you make global investments around the world in terms of people that you believe have a startup that might be successful and have an impact. is that the selection process? are you looking for certain kinds of companies you want to invest in, other than those that have a very good business model and probability of success? we are stilly, very focused on solving the commute issue. so all the startups have to do with that. jean: yes. we are here to solve the commute issue. so we go around the globe and we see who shares the same passion, who also wants to solve this issue, who is worried about it day and night like us. also, another perspective is

this industry is so young, although everyone is talking about competition. everyone knows so much about us, but people may not know the industry is still young. the penetration is only 1%. charlie: in terms of the potential market, you have only penetrated 1%. that is a good business to be in. jean: only 1%. it is a good business. we want more people to benefit from the technology and algorithm. the good thing about didi's we are based in china. china is a complex market. megacity. such a the complications in the calculation in the algorithm, if we tested the algorithm here, if we tested a product here, we can share the best practice with a lot of young companies in other parts of the world. product wise, like the minibus, is very welcome in brazil. that is the philosophy of this collaboration, which we believe

in. that's why we are going global. charlie: some people raise the question mentioning the fact that you are investors in other startups. will that in any way distract from your disruptor edge? jean: very interesting question. this industryis, grows faster than the regulation. faster than the policies. in each jurisdiction, it is all different. from our perspective, the key is, at the same time you bring top-notch disruptive technology, but at the same time we need to collaborate with as many people as possible. , we's why when we started started with the taxi industry. that's the difference between us and a lot of others. there are millions of taxi drivers getting their income

from didi. and we don't charge anything from taxi drivers. we also create our product tailor-made for them. charlie: so you are providing the information -- you are giving them information for the riders? jean: not just that. i will give you an example. for example, the taxi drivers, one of their biggest headaches, every night, the last ride is the biggest problem. if it is going to the opposite of home, then in beijing, for example, it would waste a lot of gas to drive an empty car back. a lot of them, in order to save cost, they actually sleep in the car for the whole night. the next morning, they can pick up a passenger. it is extremely hard for a taxi driver. so we created a go home button. the driver can say, ok, i will go home.

i will press the button and the system only dispatches passengers on their way home. this is extremely popular for taxi drivers. charlie: ah, so they pushed the go home button, and the passengers that go and know about you are passengers on the same way. yes, we basically send a passenger who is on the way home for the driver. they like this a lot. charlie: i would like that, too. jean: so this is the collaboration we are talking about. like workingtion with city mayors, the smart transportation system, local champions. we believe in this. i don't think there's a conflict between disruptive technology providers and at the same time collaborating. ♪

charlie: there was news today or yesterday that uber had run into a problem in london. what does that say to you? jean: i just learned it from the newspaper as well. i understand uber is appealing formally. charlie: this is an ongoing conflict between ridesharing companies and local municipalities. thus that relationship have tension or not? that my first sentence is in different jurisdiction, it is

very different. we need to understand it. secondly, there is always common ground between us and policymakers. at least for the cities in china, what we find is both sides worry about congestion. both sides worry about pollution. both sides worry about safety. let's do something together. for example, in china, the chinese government is promoting the electric vehicle because it's more environmentally friendly. so we talked to the city mayors is the look, didi largest fleet of electric vehicles globally, because drivers love it. drivers drive 10 times a day. they think of the cost saved s makes so much sense that they don't need to spend money on gas.

policymakers to promote the ev. there are a lot of common grounds we can reach. i'm being optimistic. i do believe technology in the long run will transform the transportation industry. charlie: meaning autonomy? jean: autonomy is a very popular topic. let's look at the purpose of autonomy. why autonomy? why not with a good human driver? i think the key purpose here is really about safety, and i believe in it because there are 1.3 million people dying every year from road accidents. that's more than drugs and wars. it is not supposed to be like that. i think 30 years down the line when we look back, we will probably feel ridiculous. what were we thinking?

when we think about autonomous driving, it could make driving much safer. is progress. we need to make sure it is gradual progress and well tested. then, let's bring it to bigger markets. let's make sure safety is the top priority rather than bring some technology in. charlie: but that is an issue that could probably be handled soon, and that we will simply see more autonomy and driverless cars on the part of manufacturers as well as people who use cars. jean: yes, that could be a trend. charlie: is it going to be slower than we imagine because of safety issues and other factors? jean: yes.

i think people should be more focused on how safe it is than how soon you can come out. in certain areas it can be well used, for example, logistics. charlie: how much are you using it now? jean: we are not. charlie: you have not conquered those questions yet? jean: actually for us, i want to share what we do for safety. as i mentioned, the road average is 1.6 deaths per 100 million miles. hs. our platform is .6 deat it is significantly less. technology weve apply. also, passengers will rate drivers.

if there's a dangerous driver, they will give them a very low score. driver, youmind the cannot do this anymore. there is a system for risk management for drivers. that helps a lot. this should be a progressive process instead of disruptive that switches to autonomous driving. that is too dangerous. charlie: your dad was founder of bought ibm's they thinkpad. was it destiny for you to go into technology? jean: i think there was always a calling for me, i have to admit. charlie: do you think you are in technology rather than transportation? jean: i actually think i'm in both. this industry is not just about technology, it's about transporting real people. it's not like up in the crowd internet type of technology.

i'm. definitely in both there's always a calling i would be a science major myself. it was always part of me. charlie: where did you go to college? jean: peking university and harvard. harvard computer science. charlie: how is china doing in terms of opportunities for women in technology? is it better than silicon valley? jean: i think there are a lot of common challenges. i will speak for my own experience. i wouldn't say it is a very easy journey, to be very frank. there are some cultural issues behind it. when i started my career, i was always the shy one. but ido a lot of work, decided i don't want to speak at a meeting, i wanted to sit in the corner. i worried so much about how other people would look at me and judge me. i'm very grateful in the technology world and the business world, there are a lot

mentors.ood female i also had personal experience. i got cancer two years ago. after that, i figured one thing, life is so short. there's a lot of things we need to compromise in this life, but do not compromise who you really are. that actually helped me to feel relieved and i think a lot of women actually share that problem, the same as me. that is why in didi we formed a didi women's network. we get women employees very good mentors so they can get good advice, and i do believe, as well as you can be yourself. you cannot limit your potential. there's a lot of things we can achieve. i'm speaking from my own experiences. it is a learning journey and is also very rewarding. charlie: is there still a struggle with cancer?

[knocks on wood] jean: [laughter] thank you. i actually came for treatment in san francisco. i actually took lyft most of the time. [laughter] experience. good great.: you are cancer free, then? very good. one last question about china. bill gates was on a morning program. we were talking about how still there is a belief that america is the most innovative country in the world. some of that comes from silicon valley, and we have been part of the american idea of china haslism, but become much more than simply copying what other people are doing. has china, in a sense, really

become more innovative? and how are they doing it? there is more of a cultural factor, as well. jean: sure. i am a big believer in innovation coming out of china. technology is completely transforming china, in my view. 30 years ago, as i mentioned, and i grew up, i saw mules camels on the streets as part of transportation. now it is a modern city and people rarely use while its, even.mobile payment -- wallets, even. mobile payments everywhere. china has enough market to energize real innovation because there are so many people wanting different things. story.wanted to share a we have this homework for senior

executives to drive and pick up passengers. i couldn't drive, so i was writing around with my colleague. on the way, we picked up a young guy. my colleague introduced me to him, saying that this was the president of didi. -- not impressed at all. [laughter] he asked for coupons. so we had this little conversation. he told me he was a junior in college, and he earns good income from tutoring, but he spends it all. he doesn't care to take the subway or bus is like other students. he just wants to take a private right. it is so much -- a private ride. it is much more convenient. he doesn't even have a credit card, but he uses an online system. this is the new generation of china. the technology empowers this new generation to spend to live a better quality of life.

you can say that there is real innovation coming from it. to our example as well, we talked about a lot of innovation. i think that is the future. the technology is definitely transforming china. but it is also transforming the other side of the world, too. we invest in southeast asia. it's a similar dynamic. there's a lot of innovation in brazil and here in the states. i believe innovation can come from anywhere. charlie: true. there's no reason any community can't develop the kinds of drive to change. jean: yes. if you have so many people wanting to have a better life, there will be innovation coming out of it. charlie: great to have you here. thank you so much. jean: thank you for having me. ♪ retail.

charlie: in this whole transformation of pop music, where do you see yourself? bruno: i don't know. my fear is to be put in some kind of box. that is what i struggled with my whole career. before anyone heard any of my songs, that was the problem. it felt like nobody knew what to do with me. say, it'sas to always not your job, i'm going to do it, because i don't know what i'm going to do and i want to be able to have the freedom to do whatever i want when it comes to music. if i want to pick up the guitar for one song, you have to let me

see that through. if i want to dance for one song, you have to let me see it through. i have so many ideas in my head that i want to be able to execute that no one else in the world knows about, so let me just do my thing. that has always been the conversation. hopee it continues, and i the fans, and journey with me , wonderingited what i'm going to do next. how is he going to get excited in the studio? this album, i could try to write a love song in the studio that might be a little easier to get on the radio and kind of fit but i want to go the other way. the radio is playing one thing, but i want to go with a left

successful. that's when you lose it and you lose the secret sauce. stay hungry, reminding yourself of that feeling, for me i always remind myself what it finish those songs, that i did it, we did it. charlie: when you finished "uptown funk," what did you think? bruno: i was happy at was done. we were working on it for eight months. .e kept taking these left turns it took me out and made me stop dancing. the fact that we finished it, it was like, ok, now it's up to the world to see whether we are crazy or not. ♪
