Part 6/9:
Despite these challenges, Aman sees a potential turnaround for Hertz, believing that the storm surrounding its Tesla exposure has passed. He is optimistic that changes in management, represented by new leadership under Gil West, could usher in a new era for the company. West, who has a reputed track record from both Delta Airlines and General Motors’ Cruise division, may hold the keys to Hertz's revival.
Aman further posits a potential future partnership between Hertz and Uber, envisioning a fleet of autonomous vehicles that would leverage Hertz’s infrastructure. This theoretical solution sounds appealing, but it raises questions about whether this ambitious plan might clash with the earlier vision of purchasing Teslas to create an EV-centric rental operation.
