This isn't quite dumping. It was more about achieving the scale necessary to make it usable. If there are no drivers, there are no customers. With no customers, who would drive?

It is indeed dumping. Scale out so big that previous competitors can't keep up, then squeeze hard shaking out other competitors(taxis/rentals) as well as your own minions(a.k.a. gig economy workers) for blood.

No worries, Waymo is coming soon to kill Uber as well as everyone Uber took out of business.
