The Rideshare Guy

Artificial intelligence is no longer something we talk about as the future of rideshare. It’s already here. Whether you realize it or not, AI is influencing nearly every trip you complete on Uber and Lyft.

The question is no longer whether AI is part of the driver experience. The real question is this: Is AI actually making better decisions than drivers?

Every market goes through cycles.
