### Comment:
Amazon was pouring all their money back into the company. That's why they lost money as a whole early on. They became profitable in the ecommerce space very early on, and still remain profitable in that sector. 
  
 There's no profit in ride share, and until you take the driver out of the equation there will never be a profit to be had.  
  
 Unless you think level 5 autonomous driving is on the immediate horizon it's a bad bet.

### REPLY:
Looks like it took about 10 years for Amazon to become profitable
