I don't think we should avoid pursuing technology because all edge cases haven't been covered yet.
A ton of car traffic is simply dumb commuting from home to work, and then back from work to home. It doesn't require a truck, or a special kind of car, in fact it arguably shouldn't require individual traffic at all. More specialized use cases like a handyman's work truck aren't a good fit for a hailing service, no doubt.
(but, again, I think this rumor is utter nonsense)
