“We do 20 million rides per day, 3x everyone else, globally, added together.” — Didi Chuxing President Jean Liu at WSJ.D Live.
“In September, we are greater than $20b run rate for annual gross bookings.”
“We are a data company. We gather 70TB per day if data.” [and it is probably greater than that if we include the HD video gathered for their autonomous driving progtam]
“AI will evolve to be faster and safer. It will commercialize first in the ride share network. It has to be safer than human; we have less tolerance when the machine makes a mistake.”
“For drivers and riders, we gather hobby and professional data to train the AI on matching.” [and today, it serves as a dating app in disguise]
Asked about future job loss from autonomy: “we have created over 15m jobs, 4m of them came from heavy industry.”
