If GM is really only 2-3 years away from having a fully automated taxi service, I don't see the strategic value in making such a move.
A whole bunch of time and money sunk into launching a rideshare service and recruiting drivers, only to almost immediately transmute the entire thing into a giant PR disaster full of news stories to the effect of, "A year ago I mortgaged my house to buy a car and drive for GM, and already they've kicked me to the curb."
