Khosrowshahi outlined the challenges in Southeast Asia, where Uber has had to spend heavily to compete with local ride services Ola and Grab.

"The economics of that market are not what we want them to be," Khosrowshahi said. "I think it's over-capitalized at this point. We're going in, and we're leaning forward. But I'm not optimistic that market is going to be profitable any time soon."

But he dismissed the prospect of further consolidation similar to the merger deals Uber struck with competitors in China and Russia.

My money is on merger, they always says no before they do

ublur already bleeding every month, after merger driver will be bleeding

and in 5 years, you don't need driver anymore, just need to keep churning new driver until autonomous car is ready

Knowing that Uber is getting more and more useless, Grab become more and more arrogant. Drivers have no choice.

some drivers set min 4.4 rider rating as min, some 4.5, some 4.6 and some as low as 4.0...

I think if uber can reconfigure the setting to let individual drivers to filter their own riders and pick up times are the best.

Don't know how much Uber spends on advertisements of late.
But really, they should save these money, and improve remuneration for drivers instead.

What are the purposes of advertising?
1. to introduce a product or service to consumers
2. to influence consumers' decision

Now, both Uber and Grab are well known. No introduction needed.

As for the second purpose, once a person has decided to use e-hailing service, the next question is:
Grab or Uber?

Two factors will determine her choice:
a. fare
b. waiting time

It's easy to compare fares. But Uber loses out on waiting time, because it has fewer drivers for reasons we all know.

Question will be, the Uber/ Grab user population % total population in KL who self drive.

If you allowed me to quote from the book Blue Ocean Strategy, your arguement is talking about competion between Uber and Grab, competing in Red Ocean. But, my argument is talking about creating a new "market" (litterally lah, since both ride sharing is exist for quite some time biggrin.gif ), unconetested Blue Ocean by converting those self-drive car owner to take Uber/ Grab, thus reducing traffic jam.

later when uber pool came into picture, driver earning will be even higher than now. They think their current fare is on the high side.
