If Waymo launches the service this year according to plan, how that will affect the upcoming Uber IPO in 2019 will be interesting to see.

It obviously depends on whether Uber has a similar service ready or imminent before their IPO. They have great AI and robotics people recruited from top places. However, such a feat takes time.

"recruited"

They basically hired away Carnegie Mellon's entire SDC research team.
