Hotels could gouge their customers during expos or whatever, but they don't. Their charge varies with demand, but there is always a maximum they charge. Surge pricing pisses a lot of people off, and it may not be the best business practice in the long-run.

In the long-run Uber wants to have robot drivers anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

This isn't true at all. I used to work front desk for a hotel. Our normal rate during the week and weekend was around $80. When there was a special event in town, such as a Nascar race our rates went from $80/night to almost $4-500/night with a 3 night minimum and every hotel within a 25 or so mile radius did the same thing.
