I'm sure it will get sorted, but in the mean time, you are at a big risk as an Uber driver while not carrying passengers.

If that is correct, then they are still sketchy, just directed to their drivers, not the customers. Not a fan of companies that treat their employees that way (oh right, they're not employees).
When I first heard of Uber, I was very enthusiastic. I, too, know the pain of trying to get a taxi in Calgary. But the more I hear about the company, the worse it sounds.
