  So instead of having loads of owner-driven cars driving around looking for parking, you have loads of ubers driving around looking for fares. Makes sense.

  Yeah but to be fair, in detroit you can buy a house for like $500 so there's that. If you are willing to reinstall all the copper pipe the junkies tore out years ago and fix up the burned out bits and not have police protection, that is.

  I thought it was kind of weird when they got into it. I think selling it off is probably a good move, so they can stick to what they know best and not turn into a car dealership on the side.

  There isn't really much you can do except do your best to protect yourself from future hacks. Use different passwords on each site. Try using a password manager to keep track of them all.

   7 years ago in  Hey, drivers! Do riders call you or text you? (prior to pickup)

  I don't know, call them on the phone? It's right there in the question!!

  Texting and driving is illegal in most states (and should be). Why does Uber even have this option?? It makes no sense. It makes the roads less safe.

   6 years ago in  ALLERGIC REACTION TO TOBACCO SMOKE

  Driver here. Uber cars are technically supposed to be smoke-free. But like brownbear said, even if that rule was adhered to, you don't know the car's history. One thing you could do is call the driver after you request the ride (you can call via the app), and ask them, explaining that any previous smokers in the car at all would give you a bad reaction. Most drivers would be honest about it since they don't want a bad rating. They would rather you cancel the ride than get a 1 star rating.
