> Uber and Lyft, for example, are dead as soon as self-driving cars become viable True, if they're not nimble enough to adapt. But think about that statement applied to Netflix 10 years ago. "Netflix is dead as soon as video streaming becomes viable" (i.e. They were a DVD rental business). I could see Uber and Lyft adding a fleet of self-driving cars for people to call on-demand. Or even closer to their current model: maybe they sign up owners of those cards to sublet them in the middle of the day while they're at the office. I don't think most of us—me included—can fully appreciate the massive shift that will come if and when cars are fully autonomous, driving about with no occupants.
