i wonder if the company plans to pass along the staggering costs of a helicopter, private jets, and fleets of cars, to the end user. what would be the end users pricing plan for a helicopter from midtown to jfk? what other revenue sources does this company have? (maybe a marginal source from delivering food? delivering vital organs from hospitals?)<p>currently, to call a cab with uber in new york is more than 100% more expensive than it is to get a normal yellow cab. i can assume a small fraction of the general public would be willing to pay more for privacy and convenience (probably financial/legal elites). to keep a 'high liquidity' of cars will be expensive (particularly compared to new p2p car sharing models), especially when there is a high fixed cost and any unused cars would be eating away from margins.<p>i am just skeptical about this business model.

I appreciate the bold vision. I also appreciate focus; here's hoping they get their current model fully fleshed out and in more hands before they expand into other verticals.

this was one of the top five founder interviews i've ever done... Travis tells three epic stories.
