But you can't disrupt an industry without cars! The shareholders won't like that! /s

    To everyone reading this comment. Remember that all “disrupting” ever meant was using venture capitalist's money to undercut the prices of existing services with a crappy mobile app tacked on. No “disrupting” startup has proven to be sustainable or profitable in the long term. That's one of the factors in the most recent wave of tech massive layoffs. AirBnB, Uber, the millions of food delivery apps, even Netflix, their value proposition dies when they have to charge for the actual costs of operation.
