Introducing self-driving cars might harm Uber as well. Drivers might leave en-masse in protest since they're being replaced anyways. If Uber can't roll out SDCs fast enough (maybe parts shortages or whatever) they'll be screwed.
Now that I think about it, Uber might have to stockpile the SDCs and release them all at once.
