'To put it bluntly, we are cooked,' says one Uber driver in San Francisco .
He expects Waymo , the leading maker of self-driving taxis, to broadly under-cut Uber 's service in the US city at some point in 2025 .
"We're done for. In the age of artificial intelligence and automation, we're the first to be impacted in a major way," he says.
Uber driver says he makes less than minimum wage and that is more of a story than what Waymo will do to the ride sharing industry.
Uber spent years burning venture capital by subsidizing the price of rides and then in 2022 started taking a larger share of fares.
Waymo, meanwhile, operates at a loss, with the promise of another $5 billion in funding from Alphabet .
Uber has to adapt to a business without drivers to pay for its own fleet of autonomous vehicles.
