I think what we'll eventually see are Uber drivers purchasing their own ramps and Uber marking them as wheelchair-friendly, with the customer given the ability to request a wheelchair-friendly car. In turn this would probably pressure other Uber drivers to also get ramps so they're able to compete, and the majority of fulltime Uber drivers will eventually get ramps. Edit: this might also extend to things like baby seats and various other specialized passenger modifications.

They won't compete. There's a reason that the ADA exists and it's not because people are mean, it's because it's more expensive to support people with disabilities. And because disabled customers are a very small portion of the total customers service providers would just forgo their business. The end result being there is no competition and without a legal requirement, there would generally be no accommodations.
