This is simply not what Uber does. Uber has never actually been a ride sharing service. A carpooling service is a ride sharing service. A real ride sharing service doesn't have drivers and riders where the riders pay the drivers. Don't drink the kool-aid, all of Uber's "ride sharing" and "crowd sourcing" and "sharing economy" nonsense is just marketing and legal stunts. They are essentially an online sweatshop a la mechanical turk for driving. I don't hate Uber, I think that on an ethical level it's probably superior to traditional taxi companies who entrap their drivers by paying for their taxi license (they lobby to make these very expensive) and then paying the drivers poorly until it's time to renw the license. But Uber is not a magical wonderful silicon valley company that's going to fix all the problems with taxis by disrupting it with some sharing economy. Uber is a company that found a loophole in the law that would allow it to create a global taxi service that isn't legally a taxi service, and this loophole involves drivers giving up a lot of legal protections.
