Yeah that Uber thing struck me as false too. It was obviously a ride-hailing app and provided a superior service to what existed before. The self-driving thing came up later and was always a sideshow. I suppose it helped them raise money but it was hardly their "pretext to ignore all regulation". It's a side point to the thread though.
