Well, except perhaps if you think ignoring the regulations is a key part of their business plan, in which case, well, they're no still no Charles Ponzi, but it's something.
You're completely discounting that users may prefer to be their own dispatcher.

Although whenever I've thought about using Uber or Lyft (which I've not done), I'm mostly amazed that existing cab companies hadn't already deployed these technologies on their own.

Then I remember that they don't face much in the way of competition.
