Uber CEO Says He’d Buy 500k Self-Driving Cars From Tesla Motors

This article is so trolly. I don't mind the headline even, but it's literally a hearsay quote. That's just the tip of the iceberg:

"Tesla Motors now has a huge incentive to get the RoboCar on the road by 2020, but Mr. Musk will need to get the laws rewritten in order to make that happen."

Sorry, I laughed so hard at this line. Before, he was working really hard to get them on the road, but now that Uber is "willing" (again, not even a quote, just a summary of something Jurvetson said that Kalanick said) to buy a decent number that they can't even afford EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED!

likely Uber needed some favorable press and getting into a headline alongside Tesla was a cheap way of doing so, committing to a non existent product is about as cheap as you can get
