And this isn't just about the convenience of Uber, studies have shown that it has a positive affect on the DUI rates in multiple cities that it has entered. It's literally saving lives.

Not saying that data is incorrect but you'd think with the savings in terms of insurance for lower DUIs, more insurance companies would be all over trying to find a solution that works for Uber drivers.
That doesn't seem to be the case. And insurance companies pay certain people a LOT of money to help determine optimal insurance rates and that sort of thing. Makes you wonder.
