Is Uber developing a lyft-like p2p service in addition to their black-car & taxi offerings?

  Yes, they're calling it UberX and they've had it for a while.

    No, that's their taxi service, which is mentioned in the grandparent.

      At least in DC, they're distinct. The taxi service sends actual city-licensed taxis to pick you up, and the rate you pay is based on the meter (though you still pay for it via their app). UberX uses cars licensed as livery vehicles (like the black car service), and the rate is set per mile or minute or whatever by Uber, but they're mid-range cars like Priuses rather than towncars.

    In London, UberX is just a cheaper cab service using the Prius.
