It doesn't seem that hard -- the things needed are a couple of free software nerds that build some sort of "UberFactory", and a city big enough where some workers unionize and are the first to create their own Uber with the UberFactory. After that other cities can copy them, and the only cost for the workers is to keep the servers running. Well, and customer support. They should be able to pay this with surplus and still get better salaries.
