Well Google has been working on self driving cars for a while. Uber itself heavily relies on Google Maps to run its business

Just imagine a company owning a taxi company with a fleet of cars, except there would be no drivers which account for majority of a fare's price. Then imagine it country wide/world wide/etc. It would be far cheaper to be transported by a self driving google car then to actually own a car

also you'd own/destroy the oil, transporation, and car industry all in one go... amongst other things
