It does need critical mass to really work.
Uber's plan is self-driving cars by which time they hope they'll have captured the majority of the market by simply being the app people have installed on their phones. So Uber's investors were happy to see them lose money
on every ride simply to feed that aggressive expansion.
It's not working as well because self-driving cars are taking longer than they thought. They keep hitting problems with regulators in Europe and in some American cities over their safety checks and the way they treat drivers e.t.c.
All that said I do really like Uber because it is cheap and the app is good so
