# Uber’s product chief on hotels, robotaxis, and why the company doesn’t want to be “everything for everyone”

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 10 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Uber CPO Sachin Kansal discusses the company's expanding product strategy beyond ride-hailing and delivery. Key topics include the Expedia hotel partnership, Uber One membership reaching 51 million members, financial services for drivers via the Uber Pro card, and the new AV Labs unit collecting driving data for autonomous vehicle partners. Kansal clarifies that Uber is not trying to become an 'everything app' but is focused on travel as a third core pillar. He also addresses the complicated Waymo relationship — partner in some cities, competitor in others — and explains how AI is showing up in practical features like an earner assistant, grocery cart builder, and voice-based ride requests. Uber is also selling labeled data to generative AI companies using its driver base, though AV Labs data-sharing models are still being worked out.
