Isn't it a little early to be calling it an implosion? Did something happen that I'm not aware of?

  The author's wishful thinking.

    Losing the London license was not wishful thinking. That happened!

      It isn't a trend, Uber has been banned and unbanned repeatedly.

      True, but in my opinion, Uber isn't dead until it's not one of the leading choices in car sharing apps. In just about every metropolitan area in the US "Uber" already has household name recognition, and all it's disgressions haven't changed that.

      Uber's in over 600 cities. It wins some and it loses some. But mostly it wins. With the SoftBank negotiations Uber's big investors have a chance to sell and get off the Uber train before it goes off the rails, but they're not selling. They like it there. It's nice. https://www.axios.com/softbanks-big-uber-deal-rests-on-governance-2486730275.html https://www.axios.com/softbanks-big-uber-deal-rests-on-gover...

        That’s ok, London government has done the right thing and is better off for it. They win no matter whether Uber succeeds everywhere else!

          Note that this has happened before -- Uber has left a city, then come back to it later, see Austin, TX (they returned in the last 2 months or so)
