Ride services like these also provide jobs for their human drivers in an era where technology is already displacing workers at a rapid rate.
Uber is the next logical step to help eliminate cars and trucks from city centers and therefore help with congestion and pollution. No more cars parked for 9 hours a day in garages and streets taking up unneccesary space.

The step after that will be Uber autonomous vehicles. Its coming soon. Elon Musk has the balls to speed up all of these processes 10x. He has something the big automakers don't.
