The thing with Uber though is aren't the rates set by a algorithm that weighs supply vs demand and boosts prices to attempt to entice more drivers to hit the road to provide rides for the consumers?

Is there any proof that the rates were boosted by outside influence by someone who knew what was going on? There's a big difference to a automated system adjusting rates based on a supply/demand formula and being a petty piece of garbage trying to take advantage of a crappy situation.
