Seems to be working pretty well so far, especially compared to the highly regulated taxi industry. "a verbally abusive asshole who can't drive well, blows smoke into your face at a 15 second interval, doesn't know the city, and has basically no regard for human life or decency" sounds a lot more like taxi drivers than Uber drivers (with the exception of "doesn't know the city", fortunately we have other mobile apps for that too!)

For able-bodied people with a $600 device in their pocket that relies on a $100/mo subscription, sure!
