I agree. People's fear over Uber drivers makes absolutely no sense. It's rooted in prejudiced fears of taxis which did make sense in the older context of taxis (no GPS, no log of who you're picking up, etc.). If you are a nefarious individual, the last thing you want to do is drive an Uber. If you try to commit criminal activity, there is a complete log of who you picked up and everywhere you went. Of course, there will still occasionally be incidents. But there are incidents with taxi drivers. There are incidents with people who have to undergo even more intensive background checks. Past behavior is no guarantee of future legality.
