uber will work with carnegie-mellon the research and develop robot cars. carnegie-mellon helped invent the robot car ten years ago, back when we used to think, wow! robot cars? that's amazing. google has logged nearly a million miles in dryerless cars since then and it's moved to its second model, not this one, but very similar to this one that doesn't even have a steering wheel. it makes one wonder why uber wouldn't want to use one of these? now infighting in entry, whether it's politics, movie stars or robot cars conflicting headlines. the top from bloomberg the article says the two companies are going to war. business insider says it's out of proportion. the people i've talked to said this headline is probably more correct, that said google can invest, afford to invest in uber and compete. it may be a good idea because uber executives are dancing very close to the edge sometimes and google may want an alternative plan. >> maybe we could have these robot drivers that are actually used on the uber app, put in a button, all of a sudden a robot picks you up
