Say what you will about Uber, there’s simply no denying that the company always has is eye laser-focused and fixated on the future. After spearheading the ridesharing revolution against overwhelming odds, Uber's next big bet rests on self-driving cars.

Interestingly enough, Uber’s grand plan to revolutionize the way we travel doesn’t end with cars.
