With Google's amount of data, 2 trips will 'force' drivers to restrict input to commuting habits and have more insights on it.

Google still holds 5% of Uber.

For commuting, I'd call it Uber's abandonment and Lyft's death.

Is that public knowledge?

I don't know if the exact percentage is publicly known, but that Google Ventures invested $258M into Uber certainly is: http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/22/google-ventures-puts-258m-i...

Is it even still public that Google still holds that investment?
