Too bad this doesn't seem to have gotten much attention here. It's pretty interesting to consider what the future of transportation looks like and which companies are in the best position to take advantage of it.<p>I'm inclined to think that Uber may well have the best position on this. They may not have what it takes to put out the vehicle hardware or the self-driving software, but they do have the network and trust to set up self-driving, possibly electric, autonomous cars to substitute for conventional cars on at least some of their trips, from selected start and end locations. They're probably in the best position to make agreeable deals with whoever does end up making the best software.
