Earlier, the CEOs of both companies sat down with Ed in an exclusive interview.

The way to ride is interesting.

Uber is not a ride.

It is a platform, a marketplace for increasingly different kinds of rides.

What is it, Dara, that you think you can help Zoox do that I guess they wouldn't otherwise be able to do on their own?

And I think that there's this narrative of it's either or, you know, either you go direct to your customer or you go through a platform.

And the fact is, if you look, for example, on Uber Eats, you have some of the best brands in the world, whether it's a McDonald's or a Starbucks.

or Chipotle having a direct interaction with customers through their own apps, but also using the platform to expand their distribution.

And I see the same thing with Zeus as well.

You know, Zeus is on his way to create one of the best brands in the business in transportation.

Which you've experienced recently, right?

It's a great experience.

It's a purpose-built vehicle.

And to have that experience on Uber, we think will only magnify what Zoox is bringing to the marketplace.

This is small scale in the first instance, right?

You know, Las Vegas, where you're already active, and then LA.

The mechanics of it are interesting, right?

Because as a rider...

you are not guaranteed in the first instance that you can choose a Zoox.

It's algorithmic.
