## Content

This is an interesting video by Phil Andrews of Maxinomics talking about the economics of Uber and what it could stand to gain from autonomous vehicles. As part of this, he touches on the exclusive partnership that was announced between Uber and Waymo back in September. That was a big deal. I find this topic fascinating because it's hard to imagine it not reshaping the landscape of our cities. And it continues to get more real by the day.
