Uber CEO: We'll Run Your Errands 139

Posted by samzenpus from the filling-in-the-gaps dept.
mpicpp writes with Uber's latest plans for expansion. The future of Uber is about pharmacies and rickshaws. So says CEO Travis Kalanick. One of several avenues for expansion is in a category of delivery that's about running errands. "In Los Angeles, we're doing something called Uber Fresh, which is you push a button and you get a lunch in five minutes," Kalanick told CNN's Fareed Zakaria. "In DC, we're doing Uber Corner Store. So imagine all the things you get at a corner store...FedEx isn't going to your nearest pharmacy and delivering something to you in five minutes," he continued. Another is in emerging markets, where the company may focus on rickshaws, rather than high-end black cars, Kalanick said.

      This is quite a piece of idolotry. Let us start at the end first. For many jobs no one requires a certified plumber or electrician or anything. There is no requirement to get such a certification. For certain jobs it is a requirement to get a permit, but that is to protect lives. OTOH I am sure you would no problem if your family died because the water heater exploded or the house caught on fire because of the work of a plumber or electrician was faulty, because, after all, she had good recommendations

        Where I live (NJ), all electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician — nobody else would simply be issued a permit.

        Yes, sure. The benevolent government bureaucrats in their omniscient wisdom just have higher concern for my life, than I do myself...

        In any case, such requirements as the exists, are demanded not by government but by bank

    • You have strong faith in an ideal free market. As one can see from the "Perfect Competition" entry in wikipedia, an imporant assumption of ideal free market is perfect information - All consumers and producers are assumed to have perfect knowledge of price, utility, quality and production methods of products. However, perfect information is never possible in the real world. While improvement in consumers' ability to share information would improve spreading of some information, many kind of information rema

        However, perfect information is never possible in the real world.

        The growing proliferation of smart phones perfects the information access to the degree, where various governmental certifications are no longer necessary.

        Without certification from a professional body, it would be very difficult for consumers to judge if a supplier is competent or not

        The professional body itself need not be governmental. A consumer may not be able to judge the quality of electrical work, but comparing certification authoritie

    • Historically, governments justified the "certification" requirements imposed on people wishing to pursue various professions by the consumers' inability to share the information required to make an informed choice of a service provider.

      For example, arriving to a new city, you don't know, what taxi company is decent and which hires serial rapists — the city hall should issue "medallions" to the good drivers and fight attempts by the non-vetted [bossip.com] to provide the same services without paying the authorities their due [nytimes.com].

      Uber is showing, how the consumer feedback, that's easy to provide and is immediately available to anyone with a smart phone, obviates the need for such certifications — along with the associated costs and the abuse-potential.

      Unfortunately, somebody will have to be the first person to write the "Woke up in the morning upside down in a ditch with my pants missing. Would not use again." review.

        Unfortunately, nothing prevents just the same from happening with regular taxis [ksbw.com] — you've surrendered an essential liberty (of hiring whoever you want) in exchange for security and, predictably [whatourfor...hought.com], lost both. It will just be less likely to happen with Uber — because the company's entire business is staked on the quality of the reviews (and drivers).

  • bottom line: this Uber thing is competing with mules and drop bars.

  • Does that mean that we will soon have them in the US? Will Uber then lobby for more H1B visas since obviously no American is qualified for that job? ;)

    • Joking aside, cycle riskshaw *are* present in the occident.
      Specially after the rise of e-bikes, they are all the crase in European big cities.

  • Seriously. April Fools come early? Or Late?

    Rickshaws were outlawed in China ages ago, because it's a um....very demeaning method of transportation (not that there aren't tons of other demeaning things going on). You may as well strap a pipe and plaid top hat on to match your monocle while riding around in a f'n rickshaw, shouting "Good DAY, kind sir, good DAY" and "Jolly ho".
