你像是個傳奇人物。
who have been with you the whole way,
這一路來一直跟隨著你,

問了好幾個問題,所以--
than our black car product.
差不多便宜10~15%。
是計程車收費的一半。
than they would as taxi drivers.
比他們當計程車司機時還要多。
than they otherwise would have,
in places they wouldn't have before.
is wherever he or she drops somebody off,
他們把客戶載到那裡放下來,
to get a pickup and get back in.
又放一個。
is more trips per hour,
每個小時的載客趟數變多了,
where they're productive
literally five or six price cuts
已經降價 5~6 次,
go up over time.
價格就降越多。
we call "4 Septembers" --
叫做「四個九月」——
當價格下降後,
you can't go down forever.
你不能永遠降下去。
where we bring the price down
about solving hard problems.
is it's kind of like a math professor.
就是有點像數學教授。

駕駛人軍隊時,你要怎麼說?
at which time?
可以再解釋一下,甚麼時間點?
self-driving cars are coming --
當自動駕駛車時代來臨時——
Sorry, I missed that.
抱歉,我沒聽清楚。
the first part is it's going to take --
我認為第一部分是,
or media might expect.
還要長的時間要走。
in certain places and not in others.
不能在其它地方運作。
challenge, right?
這是很有趣的挑戰,對吧?
in this since 2007,
Apple's going to be doing it,
蘋果電腦也開始投資,
are going to be doing it.
and for good reason.
or even trillions of hours worldwide
每年要花幾十億甚至幾兆個小時
driving frustrated, anxious.
of life that improves
讓他們不用再憂心忡忡,
is that it's a challenge,
or the trolley industry --
或電車業他們那樣抗拒——
or be a part of the future.
我們未來的一部分。

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Travis Kalanick - EntrepreneurAs Uber's co-founder and former CEO, Travis Kalanick is disrupting an entrenched industry and reinventing urban transportation.
Why you should listen
In 2010, entrepreneur and angel investor Travis Kalanick, with his co-founder Garrett Camp, took a niche product -- Uber -- and turned it into a global platform that has transformed the way we move around the world.
In 68 countries and 360 cities, riders can push a button and get a ride, and drivers have a flexible, independent way to make money. With big investments in China, India, carpooling, self-driving cars and logistics, Uber's future promises to be as headline-grabbing as its past, continuing to reinvent urban transportation as we know it.
