Self-driving tech should be focused on driver enhancement and not replacement. This is an incremental evolution area until all the 100 edge cases are 100%.
The self-driving enhancements they could give to existing Uber drivers to help them stay safe over long driving periods would be huge. Drive that flywheel (easier driving leads to more drivers, cheaper trips, more riders, etc.).
Let drivers multitask under safe scenarios in under 10mph traffic jams, open areas, queues, etc.
Build up those enhancements and you have a formidable, cheaper driver fleet that people would use perhaps v. buying a car.

Just saying it should happen in stages.
