Indeed. That said, why are we still referring to Lyft and Uber as "ridesharing?" You're not sharing a ride with the driver, ferchrissakes. LOL You're paying him or her to drive you somewhere. There's no fundamental distinction between Lyft/Uber and taxis. "Ridesharing" just sounds ridiculous.

I’m sure it’s a holdover to when they were first introduced and you shared the ride with others. That was a weird time, being in a car full of strangers.

I get it, but that's ancient history now.

They're off-brand taxi's, pretty much.

worse, they're unregulated taxis. just like AirBnB is an unregulated hotel chain, and crypto is an unregulated currency.
