What do you figure my chances are of being shot, stabbed, robbed, kidnapped, etc etc.? I'm told taxi drivers risk some of the highest homicide rates of any job but what the hell, sometimes you gotta get in on the ground floor. :cool:

Chance of being robbed or whatever: Almost zero, no cash exchanges hands in an Uber car.

Chance of being exploited by a growing corporation with a strong libertarian ethos: 100%

Uber has an extensive background check process. The only exceptions that slipped through the gaps are that one person with a record that a newspaper hired to test their vetting and that one dude who had his roommate/friend apply and then "borrowed" his account

If you do become a driver here's some pro advice that'll make paying money to join an Internet forum all worth it

If you want to go fast press on the pedal on the right, this is what is called the gas pedal. DO NOT press on the pedal in the middle if you want to go fast, as it will not help.

so basically I'm relying on the uber driver to not lose his password or phone or whatever and not have some crazy person answer the car request

cool lol sounds great

My town had uber trying to come in and open. The city council said ok, but you know you have to have standardized colored cars, with markings, and a centrally staffed and monitored dispatch center during operating hours. Uber said nope. lol

Uber got banned overseas and thought their disruption cry for change would somehow convince foreign courts to change their laws lol.
