Making a copy of Uber doesn't require Amazon to buy 4 million cars. They just need to launch a website and an app. Like another poster said above, Uber drivers aren't loyal to Uber and will swap to Lyft wherever and whenever. A third company doesn't cause any friction at all.
- m_ke 7y agoIt wouldn't make sense for them to compete with Uber and Lyft while they're busy losing money on each ride. They could launch a delivery only platform and attempt to leverage existing ride sharing drivers but then they'd have to compete with Ubers of the world on price per mile.
