in emergency situations like hurricane or earthquake, the current ridesharing system might provide very limited mobility when you need the most. Keep your options open at any time might be priceless sometimes.

Or you get in a car and sit in traffic until you run out of gas and then you're stranded on a highway in the middle of nowhere during a hurricane, as happened to so many people in Houston this past fall.

Few of our cities are actually evacuable in an emergency.
