EA: The batteries are just about good enough right now in many key metrics. They’re certainly good enough to do the demonstration flights in 2020. And we’ll be working really hard with suppliers to drive the advances that need to happen. But they don’t need a quantum leap.
FC: Uber is a controversial company. You were probably thinking about this job when a lot of turmoil was happening at Uber.
EA: Absolutely. I’m just really excited about where Uber is right now, and I got a chance to talk with [CEO] Dara [Khosrowshahi] before I joined and did my [due] diligence on things.
FC: Uber’s made some mistakes, pissed people off in the past. Is that going to make your work harder? Do you have some answers for skeptics?
EA: One of the things that I’ve learned so far is that the policy team is pretty sharp, and that they seem to have a really good understanding of both local as well as national-level priorities. So I’m really excited to glean learnings from their past experiences and apply them going forward.
FC: Anything else you want to tell me?
EA: The thing that I find exciting is that Uber thinks about things at scale, not just a national scale but a global scale. And it’s that type of thinking that I’m so excited about for what we’re going to do with Uber Elevate.
