To clarify: Uber has investors that are involved primarily for profit. That Uber is piss-poor at making a profit doesn't seem to have dissuaded them; Toyota just threw a half billion dollars at them despite the fact that their self-driving technology has difficulty discriminating between blown plastic bags and pedestrians.

The bike thing is definitely a problem. Bikeshares seem to end up thrown into lakes a lot.
