## Resource

Uber’s cutting nearly 10% of its workforce in a bold move to streamline operations, slash management layers, and refocus on future growth amid fierce competition from Waymo, Zoox, and Tesla in the booming robotaxi space. While CEO avoids blaming AI directly, reports reveal massive AI spending—burning through 2026’s entire budget in just four months—hinting at the tech-heavy gamble behind this restructuring. It’s a high-stakes pivot to stay ahead in an evolving transportation race. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
