#DriversAreBetterThanRobots
Positions are opening right and left at Uber!
Sounds awesome! Are you hiring drivers still?
NEVER get in your rideshare car if there are multiple people! Drivers are not allowed to bring friends/family along for the ride, so you know if there are multiple people something is suspicious.
According to the NYTimes article on this, Uber served up a fake version of the app, populated with ghost cars, to evade capture. This is the version that many city officials would see, so they technically could not hail cars. I remember reading complaints from people who would say that they saw many cars on their app but none would be available when they reqested a ride...it all makes sense now, they were greyballed.. lol
So Lyft's valuation would be around 6 billion with this new funding and Uber's is around, what, over 50 billion?! I think they still have a long way to go.
I bet working at Uber could be a reality TV show. Imagine how awesome that would be if it was filmed like "the office".
I driver for Uber X and you definitely need a 4 door vehicle. Maybe this was an Uber eats driver? Or a driver who just put his sticker on the wrong car.. lol
Funny how they treat their drivers vs employees...
Agreed - Uber should be held reliable!
