Summary from the TLDR newsletter

While Lyft has been working on innovative features for riders, Uber's focus in the US has been on supply. With self-driving cars, the platform power shift will be in the direction of who controls the demand - most people who own self-driving cars will rent out their cars to the platform that has the most demand for it. Uber will have the most types of vehicles available and more flexibility in terms of how much it can charge. It owns the most demand worldwide today, and self-driving will make it even more dominant.
