The relationship is somewhat compelling, subsequent to Uber prime supporter Oscar Salazary is one of CargoX's financial specialists — he's unquestionably seen his offer of "Uber for X" pitches, however, he let me know he sees a major open door here because of the fracture in the Brazilian trucking market.
"They don't have the apparatuses to converse with each other," Salazar said. "There's a gigantic data asymmetry assuming a vital part there. On the off chance that you demonstrate to me a business sector with data asymmetry, I'm going to demonstrate to you a $1 billion open door."
