If you had told me that nearly all NYC cabs would be out of business within 10 years of Uber starting I'd have said you were absolutely crazy too.
Once Uber can get rid of their drivers they will be killing it.

Last year when I was travelling and using Uber, talked to a couple Uber drivers (retirees doing side gigs) and they pointed this out. It was inevitable there will be automated Uber cars in the future, leaving them and others out in the cold.
But kudos to Uber for changing the paradigm. I'm glad I don't have to hail a smelly and rude yellow cab in NY anymore.
Also kudos to Airbnb for changing that paradigm. And Tesla, and SpaceX/Virgin Galactic, SaaS applications, and the soon to be Cryptos, AI etc.
Disruptors seem to be coming fast and furious which is great.
