Will investors hail Uber?

The transport platform that has disrupted the taxi business floats on the stock market. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones.

The transport platform that has disrupted the taxi business floats on the stock market. But with no clear road to profit, will investors go along for the ride? Plus, Google announces new, cheaper Pixel smartphones. Will that hurt other handset makers using the Android operating system? And we drop in on the Royal Academy of Engineering's Enterprise Hub to meet scientists trying to preserve vaccines in developing countries, helping surgeons visualise internal parts of the body, and giving robots a more delicate touch. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with 大象传媒 technology reporter Zoe Kleinman, and special guest Gareth Beavis, UK editor in chief of TechRadar.
