Logistics of their cars, it will be not much different once its driverless. Having this entire network of fleet management is what will have them ahead of the game.

Eta: let's take Walmart and online business. With self driving cars if you know where you are going or what you need, Walmart could simply pick you up or deliver to your house. If you know where you are going and there are self driving cars, said business could have a way to send you their own self driving car. Seems like a terrible thing for Uber to rely on unless they are going to plan on subcontracting out to those businesses.

What are you talking about? Why would Walmart own its own self driving cars? Do they own their own shipping company now?

Um, to compete with Amazon? If what Uber thinks happens and much fewer people own cars than delivery in generally will continue to increase greatly like Amazon is planning. If Amazon has drone plans, it's not crazy at all to think Walmart could make deliveries in driverless cars.

Bars could easily get driverless cars to pick people up and take them. Options like this are endless

All I'm saying is I can see many ways how Uber would be less practical potentially with driverless cars.

If cars become driverless truly and people don't actually own their own as much, it makes sense for businesses to start owning them to deliver and shuttle people around.

Given, I don't think any of that actually happens.
