Meanwhile, car-sharing companies like Car2Go (Daimler AG) already are profitable operations that already own and manage large fleets.

When driverless tech becomes available, they'll be much better positioned than Uber.

Agreed. I'd argue that existing car-sharing companies like Car2Go are better positioned to dominate the "self-driving taxi" market. They've already solved the challenges of owning and maintaining a shared car fleet profitably. The day self-driving technology is ready, they'll already be miles ahead of Uber.
