I think what they're doing is great. But does anyone else feel like "job creation" is a distracting data point? I can't help feel that companies like Uber are really just positioning themselves early for the self-driving car revolution that is coming. They will be in a very good position and heavily incentivized to switch to a driverless model once the technology arrives. Perhaps I'm premature in my expectations of how soon this will realistically happen.
