  Try tweeting at uber about it. Sometimes making it public like that lights a fire under them.

  I hate to say it but if you don't trust him not to cheat then maybe rideshare driving isn't the main problem here... Might be time for some counseling.

   5 years ago in  schduled uber at 4:00am reliable?

  You should be fine. It is true however that uber scheduled rides are not guaranteed, so just keep that in mind. If you are in the boonies it is possible you could get stuck if you get stood up.

   5 years ago in  Cars with high-tech safety systems are still really bad at not running people over

  Ok but these aren't the same systems AVs are using are they? These are just on today's non-self-driving cars. I assume the AV systems are better since they are using LiDAR and stuff? Or do these use that as well?

  Whoa. This is a fear of mine. I can't believe it actually happened to you. It is legal in my state and some people reek of it. Lyft and Uber are going to have to wise up about this or they will not have any drivers left before too long

  People who don't put on their seat belt. How do you guys handle this? I don't want to be liable if there is a crash but it gets really tiresome asking people to put them on and a lot of times people still don't so I just go and hope for the best.

  This always happens after an IPO. Lyft shares will be fine. The bigger problem for Lyft is the brain drain that will come with it as early employees cash out and leave the company. And who can blame them?

   5 years ago in  Uber and Lyft are having a terrible effect on public transportation, new research shows

  Seems obvious. Rideshares are too cheap. Public transport is forced to raise prices which only makes the problem worse.
