   4 years ago in  Wow. Uber’s self-driving car unit may be worth $7.25 billion.

  Apparently, Uber's technology, which has nothing to do with its core business, is worth a lot of money. It's all just money being thrown around.  Uber has money to throw around.  They own technology around self-driving cars.  That's all it is.

   5 years ago in  Charing Lime scooters is a lucrative way to make income while you sleep

  I’m too lazy to look. Do you charge them on your own on your electricity bill? You have to subtract the cost before you can calculate the profit.

   5 years ago in  Advertising with Uber Drivers

  No, one person's work or employment status will not be a part of the public records. The drivers are also 1099 so you have even less chance of coming across a list. Uber and Lyft will certainly not release a list.

  So the way would be to advertise or be involved in community forums  and organically I think. It sounds like a good opportunity though. These rideshare drivers do sure go through their cars. Something like 50~60K miles a year.

  They literally couldn't care less about this. $750K is nothing to them.

  Jeez, this is a bit sobering for some reason.  I usually welcome competition but something feels weird about this. I wonder what it is.

   5 years ago in  My driver told me he gets lots of texts from people telling him to hurry up (upon pickup). Is this really true?

  Haaahaaa haaaaa haaaa. I praise you.  Total legit.  If you said you did that about no-show fee first, I would have disagreed, but it's all about the context.

  8 minutes way?  She should have cancelled and been requesting another driver.

   5 years ago in  Driver on the phone. Is it rude for the driver to be on the phone while driving a passenger?

  Taxi drivers were notorious for being on the phone while driving you.  It's almost 100% of the time.

  ...and I get it.  They drive for hours on end.  They need to passs the time, and frankly, driving is an opportune time to be making some calls.

  What's funny is that I don't see it nearly as much with Uber drivers.  Is there like a secret code or some Uber rule that you follow?

  I thought the big battle ground is Australia.   and UK.

  Uber is tiny in Tokyo and Yokohama.  People barely use it.  It's not even a competition.
