But the drive is to keep growing at an explosive rate, and once markets become established the only way to do that is to expand by diversifying. Which is great if there are legitimate opportunities available. But instead they are squandering billions on crap like autonomous cars, and this BS.
And the drive to fund this from their core business means they are being undercut by their competitors.

Think you will find this is more of a publicity stunt as I doubt very much their proposal will get off the ground.


Talking about doing something and actually doing it are two very different things.


Cheers.
