Uber does not particularly care about the drivers. And we all know when level 5 automation is available in cars they will ditch the drivers.
Some of the surge pricing showed them in their true light although they did eventually reduce them when we had the terrorist incidents.... but other taxis were simply taking people elsewhere for free.
This fuss about TfL not granting a licence can be fixed by Uber easily - comply with what TfL wants including proper background checks on drivers. Some are saying not giving Uber a licence will be bad for the safety of women - but people are forgetting the poor checks on Uber drivers could mean the driver themselves is a risk.
