Hopefully competitors will spring up, especially if Uber behaves "badly"
Also once driverless cars are available, starting competing businesses should become trivial (aside from having the necessary capital), and in fact it's quite possible that the final outcome will be the car manufacturer themselves offering an Uber-like service instead of selling the cars.
- Spooky23 11y agoYes, driverless cars are the unicorn that somehow makes all of über's misbehavior ok. In the meantime, old fashioned monopoly building seems to be effective for them.
- gwright 11y agoI'm not sure I understand how Uber is building a monopoly. They seem to be advocating for a regulatory environment that would facilitate competition, not limit competition.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoThey are "advocating" for a regulatory environment that lets them operate, with most of the "advocating" being simply breaking the law and not caring. Competition they so far tried to extinguish. By the way, what sane company would ever want to facilitate (real) competition for themselves? The natural goal of every company is to have a monopoly. Market economy works by hanging that carrot in front of everyone and then trying to make sure no one reaches it.
