There's a lot I don't understand about Uber.

What's the Uber business case?

Is there enough profit in taxi services around the world to justify their valuation and financial losses?

Do they hope to recoup through a future monopoly? Tracking Data? Self-driving vehicle fleets?

Originally it was the idea that an on-demand app was going to revolutionize taxis.

Now it seems to be, avoiding regulation for fun & profit.

Well, minus the profit part.
