emily: you have overseen a number of m&a deals, whether it was uber and didi, uber and grab, and alibabado you see more m&a in the ridesharing space globally and locally? or do you see a bunch of -- multiple ride-hailing competitors continuing to square off in various markets around the world? be -- i think that we'll there will be more consolidation. i mentioned i think that here in china, the ridesharing services are taking off in a big way. that itself will be a strong .ontender a forced to contend with. i think there will be more consolidation. and i think the way to look at these services, it is not just the transportation service or the transportation network. there are local services and businesses, where user engagement can be high. and there is a wide range offering, rather than just getting a car ride. emily: all right, jixun foo, on the phone with us from shanghai. thank you for joining us. coming up, one european robotics company is doubling down on the efforts in china. detailed hind abb's decision. -- details behind abb's decision. this is bloomberg. ♪ emily: now to some te

arizona as to why they have been banned. -- uber.the order of the state governor ducey has this been a strong supporter of what uber has been doing, paving the way to the phoenix area to become a hub of experimentation for this technology that uber has been following for some time but in a letter, he has spelt out his reasons for suspending that permission to carry out those experiments. this is improving public safety has always been the emphasis of arizona postmark approached the vehicle testing. and my expectation is public safety is the reason. he says the incident that took place on march 18 is an unquestionable failure to comply with this expectation. public safety is number one in his list of reasons why this kind of testing must have the time being at least be stopped. initially when the accident happened, and the pedestrian, she died, sadly she died. the conclusions drawn initially were that it was not the fault of uber or the autonomous vehicle, as it were. but is talk about what this means for uber because it, along with m

now let's focus on another tech giant, uber.ended all tests of self—driving cars after a woman in arizona was killed in a collision. at the time of the accident, the vehicle was running in autonomous mode with an operator at the wheel. uber said it was fully cooperating with local authorities. our technology correspondent dave lee reports from san francisco. it was late sunday night when, according to police, elaine was struck by a uber‘s self driving car. she was crossing the road but not using the pedestrian will zone. there was a driver behind the wheel but uber said the vehicle was in full autonomous mode, meaning it was handling all aspects of the driving. the woman was taken to hospital but died from her injuries. taking to twitter, the chief executive said the news from arizona was incredibly sad, adding, we are thinking of the family as we work with local law enforcement to understand what happened. as part of its licensing agreement, uber must keep detailed logs in case of an incident like this. although this woman is t

uber now? ceo recently and he told us that his ambitions for grab is to have it become more than just taking you from point lead our flat become more than just taking you from point lead ourflat two point b, he wants to expand the service across the whole region. we want it to be an app that allows you to buy a coffee and few rewards, and after that i your lunch and have your food delivered so that you do not have to go to the trafficjam. and it is that relative, —— relevance, that appeal to every customer across the 600 million base, then you create huge value. —— if it is that releva nt. huge value. —— if it is that relevant. now, the market is projected to be worth more than $25 billion by 2025, but as you just heard, they are not putting all their eggs into one basket, they are expanding to other businesses, money tra nsfers expanding to other businesses, money transfers between people, as well as the delivery, and so this is a very smart strategy. and by uber still holding a share in grab,

third market uber is pulling out.lier, first it was china, uber lost out there, now russia and now southeast asia. you just have to read the e—mail this ceo of uber sent to the staff, his staff internally about the deal, where he stresses that consolidation is not the strategy of the day. some real concerns, i think, is not the strategy of the day. some real concerns, ithink, about is not the strategy of the day. some real concerns, i think, about the fa ct real concerns, i think, about the fact the compa ny‘s real concerns, i think, about the fact the company's expansion plant may be put on hold. i think they may be want to show this deal isn't seen as then giving in being defeated. but look a little closer at that e—mail. he has publicly acknowledged that one of the potential dangers of uber‘s global strategy is they may have taken on too many battles across too many fronts and with too many competitors. it really does beg the question what uber does next in asia, because it is only really japan, south korea and ind

host: we have touched on uber and others. who else is active now in this part of the business, the autonomous car business? guest: it is actually hard to name a company that is not getting involved in the autonomous car business. is, all of the european car companies, so the idea is that it is going to be the way of the future. we need to allow that companies can experiment with this, but hold them accountable so that they understand they are not just simply experimenting in the public space. the value of being in the public space, nothing can compare to it. nothing that we can construct out on a test site can possibly compare to the data that we gather in the public space. one additional value that autonomous vehicles offer is essentially you and i, when we learned to drive, we probably made a lot of the same mistakes over and over. computers do not necessarily make those same mistakes over and over, so it is not just a matter of we will get safer than we are but we will get incrementally safer and less risky overtime as com

mark: the breaking story on uber. what can you tell us? uber is pausing tests after a fatality. might this be taking uber's autonomous car vision? >> the most important thing, it is horrible to hear there is any fatality. obviously, prayers to that person and friends and family. this is the second time this has happened. this happened back in may. there was a similar incident for testing arizona. now this is happening again. twice within one year. autonomous cars are developed to work around the fatalities you get from normal car crashes that are unfortunately a common occurrence. the thinking is if all the cars are run on similar computerized brains this could be avoided. it is a terrible situation. se is a big step back for uber and also for people being afraid to use autonomous cars. people are used to driving themselves with hands and feet and operating vehicles normally as has been done for over 100 years. autonomous cars is a scary sight and this will only up those issues. mark: on the subject of headwinds, i suppose it adds to the headwinds of the new chief executive. he
