In some countries Uber is not the largest I know for a fact that Grab in East Asia and Careem in Pakistan and many Arab countries is the first option for many people instead of Uber. It's Market position is not because of any technology break through or advantage that can't be copied it is mostly because of discounts. Someone with larger pockets can out muscle them. With the negative publicity around Uber it could become harder for them to get more cash from investors. The next big thing will be self driving taxis where Uber won't be able to compete with car manufacturers providing the same services directly or to its competitors. Even google saw that it is hard for it to get car manufacturers on board with its self driving tech with most opting to do it on their own despite they are a few years behind in tech.
