Uber will fight the laws for at least a couple of years and by then be half way through replacing the entire labor force with autonomous cars. This is a political tactic designed to get Hillary points in the media. She's smart enough to know it'll have little to no long term impact.

Frankly I'm surprised she picked uber as a target as uber has a very strong, large, and sophisticated political lobbying organization. Granted, they focus on local politics more than national, so maybe this is a sign of Hillary being out of touch with the local level.

I don't think we'll have autonomous cars in 2 years.

"A couple of years" is not even close to halfway to the time when autonomous cars will be available, convenient, and able to handle the traffic situations that Uber drivers do.
