  Only if the riders find out - if it gets enough press. 

  Whoever these drivers are, they shouldn’t be advertising what they do. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

  I am not a driver, but I no longer expect handouts at this point.  I rarely see them now.

  The big exception is UberBlack. I do expect or at least appreciate a better service such as a phone charger, water, mints, etc.

   5 years ago in  What's a typical passenger rating for Uber? Is 4.50 good?

  $1.00 per 5 minutes is a good guideline.  Just as people got used to the 15~20% at a restaurant, we shoud spread this.

  Not to mean to disagree, but I tip more for shorter rides. I know drivers get dinged for those. So if it's a $6 ride, I round up to 10. The least I can do.

  This article is such crap.  What drivers are reporting this crap?  It's one of those stories journalists found some rare case and decided to blow it out of proportion so he has a story.  Wreaks of it. (hehe)

  I am sure one guy got reported, in order for this message to be sent by Uber.  however, we all know the driver just wanted to frame the passenger for being an a-hole.  True story.

   5 years ago in  Can Uber pull up the passenger's GPS location to solve a dispute with the driver? Say to settle a disagreement between drivers and riders as to where the drop off occurred?

  I Don't think Uber is legally allowed to collect and keep that information, definitely not to that level of detail.

  Also, remenber that your Uber app does not have to be on during the ride for the trip to be successful..  and it needs to be open for Uber to track your location, right?  Hence, it wouldn't be a reliable for your drop off location anyways.  (plus no actions are taken by the user at the time of drop off, right?)

  “Ultimately, I think that we’re not going to look to own the tech ourselves,"

  This is what Lyft used to say for reasons they are not building AVs on their own.  I thought Uber did want to own all these technologies themselves.  They are building autonomous cars, airplanes and airports, etc.

  Don't UberPool drivers get paid regular UberX, prices?  So no drivers are affected by this.
