I don't understand why the term ride-sharing is even used when talking about Uber and Lyft. Has anyone ever gone with a driver who wasn't just driving an unlicensed cab? Or is it referring to multiple riders sharing one car?

All the Ubers/Lyfts I've used (between 30 and 40 as rough estimate) are people in what looks like their own cars. There's never been any cab insignia anywhere on them.

Unlicensed cab as in: driving people from point A -> point B with the purpose of making money, without having a taxi license.
