So Uber cash in bank will run thru end of 2018 .

That is exact time 2019 January google Waymo will be having driver less full autonomous Ride hailing service at least in 10 US Cities in limited routes of each city to begin with ( as Phonix driver less service is LIVE at this time).

Unless Uber driver less technology is ready for deployment for real world Ride hailing service by 2019 January (even in small limited routes in those 10 cities), Uber is in big trouble !!!!!

I think this Uber 30% lowered valuation is result of this two factors of perceived RISK that is

a) running out of money in one year

b) driver less technology readiness by 2019 for real world use

Driverless cars in 10 cities by 2019? Without perfect sunny weather?
