It's more than that. Google is interested in the movement of goods and services and how they can make those transactions more efficient. Google can umbrella commerce in general and just take a small google tax. It's like amazon's end game, except a lot more lightweight and uninvested.
Not if you think of both people, their locations, their movements and their desires as information.
However, with Uber, as far as I know, all drivers own their own vehicles. They just subcontract to Uber.
Further, there is a massive black market for drugs and prostitution in every city and every Black Limo market, SF Uber being no exception. I wonder where this will wind up....
Yep, it's immediately what I thought of when we saw the Google Glass Field trip app released earlier this week. Google could offer an invaluable service to businesses and consumers alike if they could orchestrate the relationship between the two.
