It is a technical solution that lacks a network effect or regulatory OR people component
It also seems to be lacking the technical component as I didn't seem to find any dispatching logic (e.g. geospatial awareness).
Isn't that what Uber is? The people component only exists when they're trying to manipulate customers into thinking they care about anyone. If you actually try and get support over being harassed by drivers for example, you get to see the real Uber.
No. Your criticisms of Uber aside, the poster notes that this lacks the network effect that Uber uses.
