I have never kicked anyone out, I mean I don't think I have ever had someone who is underage in my car even.
I feel like as long as the person looks like a teenager I wouldn't question it, now if a little kid got in my car I might call the police or something as I would fear the kid was lost.
Maybe he shouldnt have been cheating...
I'm fine with doggy bag leftovers for 2 reasons. First, they are wrapped up nicely so I do not have to worry have them spilling. Second, normally leftovers and cold and thus do not give off very strong odors.
What I don't like is when people bring fresh hot food in my car as it stinks it up for the whole night!
This would also be good to post in #EmergingTechnology
Well, I can voach as a driver, we get paid squat!

Oh man, I would die if this happened to me! Elway is the greatest!!
That's why you always get those rubber floor mats...
Maybe Uber's navigation will actually start to work correctly...
About time! As soon as I started driving I realized that those numbers were complete BS
Do you know which platform you would like to book a ride for someone else on? Uber, Lyft, tradtional taxi, etc?
Wow - those are some serious fines!
An Uber advisor leading a charity project?! I don't know about this...
As long as the walker or wheelchair can fold up in my car I have no problems with this (I drive for Uber X). If you have a motorized wheelchair that wouldn't be able to fit in a normal sedan then maybe you could try UberWAV? I have never used it but it is supposed to be a wheelchair accessible vehicle for the same price as an UberX. Unfortunately, I don't think Uber has rolled this out in every town and city yet.
LOL Imagine the car is one block away from the finish and its just stuck due to pedestrians
wow! this surprises me - normally they are really secretive about this kind of thing.
Yep. This month has sucked so far...
This guy definitely deserves one of those Uber 6 stars.
Haha! If they are all self driving why didn't they just have them drive themselves to Arizona?
Thank goodness, I can't even imagine! This sounds terrible.
