What do you need to support the assertion? The operating costs of a 'match x with y' service are negligible compared to Uber's revenue take. They're pissing all that money away on loosely related r&d and their hopes/dreams of an autonomous future. They now also need to somehow continue justifying their mind boggling 72 billion dollar valuation. I expect in the coming years Uber will die and be replaced by a service that works exactly the same way but for a far smaller revenue take and without any of the lofty ambitions.
