Risher focuses on cars and possibly bikes

Extrait original

So I’m not super focused on maybe it’s a train, maybe it’s a vertical takeoff aircraft; I’m pretty focused on a car, or maybe a bike, is going to be what you’re going to use.
Contexte

So I would say... So great question, and maybe a nuanced answer. I actually think most people, when they pull an app like this, they kind of know how they’re going to get from A to B, they kind of know that already.

Risher says frustrating ride experiences reduce future use

Extrait original

I’m like, “Okay, hold up, you’ve just glossed over the most important thing, which is that 100 percent of the time it happens, it’s a pain in the ass, and the rider is frustrated by it. And so I will guarantee you, you don’t have to go and do a bunch of research on this, I already know, people who have that experience are less likely to take rides in the future.

So you can go ahead and decide if you want to look at that or not, but I already know the answer to that.”

Extrait original

Remember, here’s the last thing I’ll say, people’s interaction with the app — and this is different from us versus some primarily tech companies — is relatively brief compared to the time they’re spending in the car. And so I would say part of my job is to figure out how to make that in-car experience even more interesting and, frankly, have a bigger place in your brain than just how you happen to get there.
