The upcoming and currently unfolding autonomous transportation revolution (self driving cars + drones) is definitely a "shit your pants big" shift that's going to change absoloutely everything in our economy. It's the internet scale shift of this era. Uber may or may not be of the many companies to capitalize on this shift, but his statement makes sense to me on that level.

To compare that to "the internet" -- a technology that eliminated and created entire classes of industries, fundamentally changed the way we interact at almost every level, how society operates, how economies are built and run? No. Not even close. Not even in the same order of magnitude of significance.
