Does this mean that ultimately this will be won by manufacturers? Volvo has a program where you can only lease certain vehicles; Tesla is thinking about on-demand rentals for vehicles, so in the longer run, the manufacturers may outmaneuver Uber? Just a thought

I doubt it. Very few people care about whether they're taking a Hitachi or a Bombardier train. Cars will probably end up going the same way; it'll be about the consumer brand rather than the manufacturer.
