Uber isn't a "major corp". Uber is a startup with more press than sense that seems to be both power-drunk and incompetent. This is EXACTLY what is to be expected from such players. Over-confident and under-clued.
Uber is expanding like a gas into a vacuum right now and is just as able to fill all the available vacuum in any meaningful way as the gas would be. They would need to hire top-notch people and to wait with every move until they have analyzed the hell out of it but they can't and won't do that because they fear that someone else beats them with being more reckless then.
But of course nothing of this is unexpected. I bet that the very first proto-human who was clever enough to drag a burning tree branch home into his cave one winter day killed several people sooner or later by fire or CO-poisoning. Was he right or was he wrong? Being clever and daring enough to get something done does rarely mean being clever enough to do everything right.
