Google wants to invest in a service that looks like Uber, but it's the motorcycle version. Go-Jek is called the system and is capable of making much more than just moto cruises.
With a $ 1.2 billion investment, Go-Jek is coming on the transport market trying to compete with big names like Uber or Grab.
The Chinese company Meituan-Dianping, which is active in electronic commerce, also participates in raising funds.
Go-Jek was originally built as an app to give people two-wheels taxis, but it has grown over time, reaching sectors that use cars or trucks. Besides the taxi service, Go-Jek does its job very well when it comes to catering services also.
JD.com - a Chinese online retailer - has invested $ 100 million in Go-Jek. We need to know that JD.com is an online retailer that is ranked second in size in the Asian state.
The list of investors does not stop here, so we can say that financial support has been great. This Uber-moto has also been able to raise money from the founder of Chinese Facebook, Tencent Holdings.
But what's the story about the Uber that we know and** Google**? Not many know that the two names have been on trial for theft of intellectual property. Specifically, Google sued the Uber company for taking over the idea of cars running alone. We all know there were statements from Google that they will bring a car on the market, but since then, that nice car from Google hasn't been released yet.
Waymo is a company that is currently dealing with the Autonomous Machinery Market and is a Google-based company. Waymo tests cars with Chrysler in order to perfect the system and give birth to a flawless self-driving car.
Turning to our story, Go-Jek will have a lot of work to overcome Uber and become a leader in this market segment. And now, after reading Google's stories, Uber and Go-Jek, we should ask ourselves: Why does Google want to feel its presence in Go-Jek? Is it a sign that Google shows Uber that it will not be in the first place for a long time? Will the two companies carry their war in this way?
