I didn't see any talk of self-driving cars here. I think they're coming sooner than we think, and I suspect not having to pay drivers has been baked into the valuations by some of the firms providing those sweet sweet capital injections.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see Tesla enter this space, given their advanced self-driving capability (frankly the one that has come closest to a normal consumer as myself).

Re: Lyft vs Uber, I go for the cheapest usually, even though I know there are other differences. Many people who really care about the difference are mostly drivers. Many friends of mine who use both apps mainly use it to price differentiate.

Nah! We have a long way to get to full self-driving. There are just too many variables, unpredictable conditions - to be baked into a system.
