Its probably a joint venture between the two. Uber bring the client booking system, and Volvo bring the vehicles. I'm sure Volvo has more ownership too.
WTF So I just dick'd my butt

they arent a teenage kid. They know exactly what insurance and maintenance will cost, as well as what everything else will cost. They have entire staffs to figure out these exact things before plans are even proposed, no less actualized.

O on paper.
Because every business plan plays out in real life exactly the way it did on paper
of course not. that's why volvo will manage that part, they manage the customer side of the house
if cab companies can figure it out then anyone can

well it sure is a good thing you're here to teach those two billion dollar international companies a lesson
Volvo's auto tech is (tautologically and obviously) more advanced than you know. Volvo is one of the best manufacturers in terms of quality engineering. Teslas for instance are only level 3 autonomous, while this is a apparently a level 4. So in the real world Volvo is the first to market unless Tesla manages level 4 within the next month. 3>4 is a big deal, as it requires no expectation that the driver should be able to immediately assume control.

I fab shitboxes and shitbox accessories.
Now I remember the reason I didn't like working here (one of them, at least)
Manager's manager is freaking out about overtime. He confused me and another dude, other dude has more hours allotted to him for whatever reason. I take lunch and come back, then get told not to clock in for another hour and a half. :nothappy:
At least its a good thing I had the boat hooked to the truck for a meet tomorrow. I was able to screw around and do some minor jobs instead of wasting it driving home and back.

Object, Smobject.
I once had to spent a way too long amount of time to realize what a variable was doing.
The variable was this: int iiiii = 0;
This iiiii was used in some 300+ lines of background thread which was already a cluster fuck.
Turns out it was some kind of a counter, weirdest use case of a counter I have ever seen. I was in a hurry and was a junior at the time. Drove me nuts to no end. "THIS SHIT IS A FUCKING COUNTER????"
int ctr is easier to write than int iiiii if you are too fucking lazy to write "counter". And this was a guy who had 10 something years of development experience.
This is why i will name variables exactly what they are, even if I have to compound multiple words. For example: "numberOfPortfolioReads". Only time I tolerate single letter variables is for the index of a loop callback.
Now that's a developer I can work with.
One of the weirdes methods I had to name was
private boolean doesBearingExceed360Degrees()
It was a complex part of a complex calculation but everybody understood that code with ease because all the method and variable names I use are like these.
i, j and k belond in loops.
x, y and z belong in point calculations and needs to have a preeceding explanation, eg: cursorX, cursorY.
Then stop reading, close the input stream and just return;

Im not kidding, I was about to post this. One of us needs to log out for the day.
