   6 years ago in  Uber to require a 6-hour break for every 12 hours of driving in the U.S.

  deep.   so we are gonna do a full 360.  or 180 or wahtever.

  Uber disrupted the medallion system and brought back the free market.  and now it'll be gone again.  over priced licenses that huge corporations can afford and the price will skyrocket.  we will talk about Uber in the business school books and it'll just be a part of an interesting business case where people fought the power and the power won.

  Next thing you know, they will start handing out licenses to keep the number of drivers in control.    and start charging 100s of thousand of dollars for each.

   6 years ago in  Self-driving taxis could be up to 80% cheaper than today's rideshares

  Next few years?   And why does this say 80 and 50  

  "The shift towards electric and autonomous vehicles, combined with intensifying competition, should reduce the fee charged to passengers by as much as 80 percent compared to today," the authors of the report said Friday.

  
  "Within the next few years, the technology will be available to make robotaxis a reality. In this new paradigm, owning a private car will cost almost twice as much as using robotaxis."

   6 years ago in  Watch out, Uber! No-driver Waymo is almost here!

  Must they really choose a Chrysler?  Billions of dollars and we arrive at a Chrysler.  

  • The Chrysler Pacifica is one car of choice for Waymo's service.

   6 years ago in  Can Uber set a round trip fare?

  Why would anyone think you can do roundtrips on an Uber?  That doesn't even make sense.  Just book twice.

   6 years ago in  Do you know how much phone data driving for Uber uses per month?

  This figure seems sorta high for me. Does mapping really take that much data?  I guess maybe if you drive all day long.

   6 years ago in  The first self-driving Uber is...bicycle

  Oh, those things are awesome.  They are self-propelled, right?  Like my push-mower.

  I suspect so many would get stolen or go missing.  I bet they are all gone within 9 months of launch.

   6 years ago in  Lyft employee: “Hell yes. I definitely looked at my friends’ rider history and looked at what drivers said about them. I never got in trouble.”

  Calm the eff down everyone.  There is no HIPPA on transactions captured by Lyft, right?  Is this REALLY that big of a deal?  Sure, privacy and all that, but can't literally every other company where the data isn't protected by HIPPA has employees that can view all the rows in the database?

  • Amazon customer service rep that can pull up purchasing history of individuals?  Of course.
  • Planet Fitness manager that pulls up how often the member has visited the gym?  Check!
  • Christmas Card Printers.  Their employees can see all of our photos and transactions.  Yep.

  Maybe a credit card thing?  Like kids don't have credit cards, so parents want one person to pay.
