    I’m the Uber of commenters… I am privately funded, I seem like a serious waste of time, and there is no feasible path toward profitability for me.

      I wonder if Apple could leverage its AirTag network and their bluetooth funny business into a built in ride-sharing network or something and cannabinalize Uber

          I just mean I wonder if they could use the infrastructure + maybe iCloud/location etc and create a native taxi solution that undercuts Uber using Apple’s own networks. I don’t know enough about that, yeah, hadn’t really fleshed out the idea but they could do it without that

            Uber uses GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/whatever satellites that are publicly available. I’m pretty sure Apple’s AirTag stuff relies on those too.
