   6 years ago in  Uber wants to be able to detect if you are drunk BEFORE they match you with a driver.

  I don't see the harm in this. Frankly, I want to know what kind of passenger I am getting so I can prepare. Driving around drunks is never easy.

  I'll ask "Are you ok", if they respond with a short answer like yes or something I just leave them be. If they want to talk, this question will prompt them and they will talk.

   6 years ago in  how much luggage can uber ride take?

  Doesn't bother me! Though maybe if I had nice leather seats I wouldn't want any luggage scratching my seat. I am pretty sure Uber talks about luggage only in the trunk so I dont think a driver is expected to allow luggage in the cab!

  I bet Dara was actually a jerk to drivers hence his low rating and is just trying to cover it up with this seatbelt nonsense. I coudl care less if my pax wear seatbelts.

   6 years ago in  Do Uber and Lyft drivers mind picking up another passenger if it means they have to wait 5 to 10 minutes?

  I would rather be driving, when I am driving I make the minute rate plus the per mile rate. If you want me to wait for you while you run errands I expect a good tip to make up for my lost wages.

  I drive pax around all day, and spent 75% of my day making small talk, the talking is way more exhausting then the driving! I love a quiet passenger. Better yet, I love a quiet passenger who is happy with my music choice so I can really just zone out

  Interesting thought, though it seems complicated to implement. Uber would never spend time on this, they don't care about their drivers enough.
