Uber has market cap of around 50 billion, and is spending money on self driving cars. Progressives are on the wrong side of history.

Uber is likely to change radically in the coming years, self-driving cars or not. I've long believed that a business model built on people who really don't know how to price their own services isn't likely to last very long. As more and more drivers get wise to the racket, the business will have to change.

Kudos to the astute Freeper above who pointed out that Uber is really nothing more than an app for gypsy cabs. Wait until they have to compete with a Chinese company that develops an app for gypsy cabs driven by illegal aliens.

Uber’s market cap is a joke. They come in, fight all the legal battles, spend all the money, so some other company that didn’t take on all that overhead can swoop in with their own app that does the exact same thing. Long term, Uber is a zero.

And that’s from someone who uses and appreciates Uber.
