Surely Uber's reason to exist is to be ready to take over as soon as robocars are good enough. In a world where taxis are cheaper than owning a car, the winner is the one with the software and userbase that can organise the most journeys efficiently, offering discounts to merge rides, running buses and trains when enough people want to go from the same A to the same B

This explanation presupposes that running a ride share business is a good entry point for running a robocar business. On the face of it the requirements for running these two business appear to not have much in common.
