"End game" indeed. Self-driving cars shed the only competitive advantage they have: efficiently organizing thousands of drivers.
Surely self-driving cars will also be available to consumers. It's just a software update from there to a mode that lets your car earn some money when you don't need it. The manufacturers will be the first to offer the remaining booking/billing/insurance service, but there'll be plenty of competitors.
Uber, meanwhile, will start with >100 billion already burned in a 5-year mission to obsolesce.
