End game of taxi industry is self-driving cars.

This is what Uber has been betting on but they estimated that the transition would come much earlier than it is.

If that were the end-goal, what's the point of operating their current business at all? Seems like a waste and entirely pointless.

And why wouldn't some other company without all the current baggage needed for operating a taxi service with human drivers be able to steal Uber's business?
