How do you do P2P? There needs to be an intermediate. You can't just ask the rider to open up some port. They need to subscribe to a channel they both can communicate over, so we are back to the server owned by Uber / Lyft. But I don't think this matters to end-users. As a frequent user, I only care whether the car will arrive on time and whether it is on the opposite side of where I am waiting...
