Uber's self-driving cars will help the company overcome its driver-growth struggles, according to Eric Meyhofer, CEO of Uber's self-driving car unit.

Uber is making progress on its goal to launch a fleet of robo-taxis that do not have a human driver at all. Eric Meyhofer, CEO of Uber's self-driving car unit, said the company plans to begin testing the cars without human safety drivers in small trials in 2020. The company hopes these cars will help augment its 3-million strong human driver workforce because, Meyhofer said, the company has trouble attracting and keeping enough drivers to meet the growth of its rideshare service.
