Good points, but I would add that what Uber is doing now is just carving out a chunk of the market for what is coming in the next few years. Most of your points revolve around human drivers and the gasoline-powered vehicles they own.

The future of Uber is probably a majority of driverless vehicles that are corporately-owned. That is a vastly different model.
