The interesting questions, then, are things like whether Uber/Lyft could insure the vehicles for multiple drivers? Or would a separate insurance company have to underwrite the car-sharing aspect of the rider/driver-sharing?
As far as taxi fares driving it can be done but the insurance will destroy the already non existent profits even further.
Everything else you mention HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE.
