There are forums like http://uberpeople.net/ where you can read up on the experiences of Uber drives. The cars driven by those making a living at Uber end up being similar to cars driven by taxi drivers, older depreciated, fuel efficient and reliable models like a Prius. |
Perhaps if consumers want a safe reliable newer model car with professional drivers they shouldn't demand an environment that only pays $0.75/mile!
