> Uber and Lyft's greatest competition in my life is a small Google product where people pick up people on their daily commute to and from work and the drivers are compensated only for gas money.

When I first heard about Uber I never thought about it as a replacement for the traditional taxi system but more of this. People on the way to their destination who can take some people there. Not some guy waiting around for the next person who needs a ride.
