   6 years ago in  Lyft's self driving cars in Las Vegas have given over 5,000 paid rides

  All these seemingly amazing tests are in easy places. Vegas. Literally the middle of the desert.

  Do 5000 rides in new england in the dead of winter and I'll be impressed. Seems to me they are not even testing their cars in harsh conditions.

  People keep saying AVs will be all over the place in 5 years. Don't listen to them. 5 years is crazy. 20-30 years, maybe... maybe.

  Kind of unfair to blame this on engineers like the quote implies imo. It's the execs that make these unethical decisions.

  Fart. I'd fart. Immediately, and viciously. This needs to be the fart of all farts. If there is one time in your life to dig deep and summon your greatest work, this is it. Once you've got the car nice and stunk up, the problem will take care of itself.

   6 years ago in  Vomit Fraud!!! We've heard of it before, but now it has a name.

  LOL. This is such a dumb scam. Drivers put themselves at risk of losing their job or worse just to maybe make $80 or whatever a few times. It's like robbing a lemonade stand. If you're gonna expose yourself to big trouble you might as well go big and rob a bank am i right?

  A lot of local police departments rely on ticket fines for a large part of their budget. Seems wrong to me.

   6 years ago in  If you were the new CEO of Uber, with absolute power, what would be the first thing you'd change?

  The problem is that drivers pay is based on the fare. It should just be an hourly rate. What would happen if they did that?

  * No one would drive for Lyft anymore -- or else Lyft would have to follow suit

  * Uber and Lyft would have to raise prices to stay afloat

  * Service would be better. Happier drivers with better maintained cars. More competition for driving jobs means more qualified drivers.

  * Riders would ride less, the huge traffic problem rideshares are creating would get better

  * Uber and Lyft would make less money. <---- oh dam, there's the problem.

  Bottom line is Uber and Lyft are greedy and are making their money off of the backs of the drivers. Seeing as they are not even profitable, I can't see who is winning right now.
