One issue with this scenario - once Uber is no longer paying drivers, it should become a lot cheaper, making it viable for a lot more people to get rid of their cars and just rely on Uber. So that'd decrease the pool of people to loan their cars to Hypercar. Effectively everyone would be "ride-sharing", but through Uber.
And then Uber, owning this fleet of cars, would be disrupted by a company that sells/leases self-driving car kits to people who then convert their own vehicles into robo-taxis.
