Yeah, someone wth a large amount of capital being able to buy in bulk makes the most sense - whether the ride “sharing” service itself or some other corporation(s). You’d also need some third corporate entity to clean and maintain the vehicles - which could be Uber or a third party. If Uber is staying just software, then their role becomes diminished - groups with that kind of capital can manage their own payment systems - with Uber perhaps simply reduced to a ride-calling/scheduling layer for a whole variety of transportation options.
