They'll need to survive for 10 years losing billions annually if that is their goal. And it will take them years to scale up automated rides/food delivery even after it becomes available.

Uh, considering they've been doing well prior to tech, and AI being a thing, I think that's non-factual

The end goal of what? Uber Eats or Domino's?

Both probably. I read an interesting article about restaurants renting in industrial areas with no dining room only doing take out. People will always want to eat somewhere nice / fun but certain franchises I could see making the switch
