But I have no interest in talking to anyone or have essays worth of conversations where to meet and at what time and for what price. Or, like for instance a London competition app and many cab services outside London demand; to book n (even 24 for some) hours in advance.
The only potentially new thing here (though not necessary invented by Uber) was "shows me cab's location", but the remaining three? All of them were supported since people invented telephones and portable radio transmitters.
Uber's primary innovation is, and always has been, their operations playbook, which allowed - and still allows - them to grow a billion-dollar business while routinely breaking the laws in front of everybody and not even trying to hide it much.
