On-demand car sharing is the future, making Tesla's consumer car ownership model outdated. Uber is 5-7 years ahead of Tesla on the operations side of managing and deploying a fleet.

Lyft partners with GM that acquired Cruise and their tech is solid. They are making cars will all the sensors built in, not add-ons like Uber.
Also Uber is losing a shit ton of money. Tesla is not profitable but doesn't bleed that much money.
Depending on how Waymo vs Uber goes, Uber may have to shut down their self driving car program temporarily. Stealing 40,000 files is ridiculous.
Add that to fact that they didn't get a proper licence so they don't have to report crashes and their self driving car crashed pretty bad.
Uber is a risky bet.
right, uber might have to shutdown its autonomous car program, or it may just settle with google and move on with life...
Uber has a proper license to run in sf again
Uber is absolutely a risky bet. But if they succeed, they may eclipse the car ownership market and get 10x bigger
Also arguably the company providing the contact with the customer is more of a commodity. Certainly its the easiest aspect to replace. 100 companies could handle that tomorrow with existing tech for example. I can imagine people using a service that shops a bunch of car services and lets you connect with any of them.
