And? What's the difference between total coverage in 2018 versus total coverage in 2020? Uber can't lock Lyft out of the market- that was abundantly proved when a bit of ham-fisted PR made Lyft one of the most popular apps of January. And Lyft can just copy any of Uber's random X-delivery schemes that actually works. Self-driving cars might be a distinguishing factor, since as far as I know Lyft has no efforts in that direction, but that deficit could be entirely compensated for if Lyft winds up selling themselves to some company that does have that tech.
