I'm waiting for someone to make Uber, Lyft and others into a utility where you request a car with an app and the closest one, regardless of type, gets the call

I'm waiting for someone to make Uber, Lyft and others into a utility where you request a car with an app and the closest one, regardless of type, gets the call and comes to you. The current APIs seem to make this exact scenario a bit difficult but it wouldn't surprise me to see something like this come about at some point in the future. There is just not a huge difference between the two to really care about, in my opinion anyway.
Edit: Any reason for the down-votes? I'm genuinely curious if it's because people disagree with me and why or if it was something else.
