Ask HN: How hard is creating an app to replace Uber and Lyft?

With Uber and Lyft threatening to shut down over California's ruling to classify drivers as employees, how hard would it be to replace the services? Could drivers and supporters create an alternative app to allow them to serve riders without going through the services? Does California have enough entrepreneurs and programmers whom the shutdown would inconvenience enough to make solving it worth their while?
