I always figured the other shoe would drop for companies like Uber and Airbnb. Their model works really well in a vacuum where they are not stepping on anyone else's toes, but now that they have scaled, their business model is starting to put strain on existing industries. I really like the solutions their businesses bring to the table, but one of the reasons they work so well is because they completely circumvent existing laws and regulations.
