to add to the self driving car platform, there's just not enough of a competitive advantage to getting your app in front of customers, the real competitive advantage will be had by companies that can run / service and maintain fleets of cars. something uber isn't adept at, they would need to invest unimaginable amounts into physical capital to get to parity with some existing companies when automated cars actually become a thing.

This is a photo of one of the company's yards: https://www.facebook.com/TaxiCabJesus/photos/a.523710047820449.1073741827.497301130461341/523709944487126/?type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/TaxiCabJesus/photos/a.5237100478204... They had to consolidate to the other yard (after I retired). I've read that the old taxi company now leases unbranded cars for use with any service. "no mileage restrictions and maintenance is included." Arizona's laws don't allow regular rental cars to be used for 'ridesharing'. (I recently figured out how to finish my site about the 'taxi wars', http://www.taxiwars.org/ http://www.taxiwars.org/ - I was learning about the human condition the whole time. New posts are in progress...)
