It's a question if uber can race to self driving cars fast enough.

That's really the only way their financial model can make sense.

They should really be seeing this as essential to their survival, like nuclear bombs in WWII.

Nazi Germany had maybe 1000 people working on their version. USA had 180,000(!).

I suspect in this analogy, uber is not USA. Someone else will get this rolled out first. But I'm not 100% sure.
