If I was adding one more item it would be minimum price to ensure roughly minimum wage for drivers driving 5 year old vehicles but until we see the long term affects I don't think we need to distort the market yet.

A class 4 license comes with a medical requirement. I want the vehicle I'm riding in to be safe, but I also want the driver to be safe (i.e. not have a medical condition). Same thing for the background check - I don't want to be alone in a car with someone who is a criminal. Yes, the Uber app could track things, but I'd rather prevent something from happening, than knowing who did it afterwards.
