Ride-hailing. A car without owning one.
It is a product you buy.
It exists to relieve Get to work without a parent's car, Get around without a parent driving and Driving becomes unsafe but is the only way out of the house. That is the whole reason it is here: nothing enters this map without a human problem behind it.
It could not exist without Smartphones and internet, Gig labour platforms, Satellites and positioning and Cloud computing and data centres. These are the quiet preconditions — remove any one and the solution stops working.
It competes with Autonomous vehicles and robotaxis for the same friction.
4 organisations in this map sell it, 3 of them publicly listed.

The line back to a human being
2 hops from a person at a phase of life. The further a thing sits from the person, the more abstract it looks — and the more it tends to be mistaken for something that came from nowhere.
