Before Uber became Public Enemy #1 and prior to the Otto/Levandowski dispute, Google was planning on competing with Uber despite being an investor, which led Kalanick to e-mail David Drummond about it [1]. Drummond eventually left Uber's board (which harkens back to Schmidt leaving Apple's board) but this was well after the relationship had been deteriorating.

Was that really surprising? The company that builds the first self driving cars will have an easy entrance into the ride service industry.

I'm not sure how that's relevant to the discussion.
