I don't see Uber as a success. They used a big bag of cash to replace organised labour with cheaper, unorganised labour, much like how the mafia works but out in the open. It does not provide anything new, it's just cabs without licenses driven by people living in precarious conditions.
In some places they've been forced to ditch this business model too.

These companies have usually been in business a while. Conversely, some things are cheap because the one who assumes all liability is oneself.
