UberX is becoming UberLateModelPrius here in SF

• potatolicious 10y ago
  I'm less concerned about it being UberLateModelPrius (a not-fancy car was always part of the deal with X), but I've noticed last time in SF it was becoming UberFilthyLateModelPriusWithRudeDriver. That I do mind. They're becoming just like the cabs they replaced, just without the brightly colored paint jobs.

    And insurance policies + regulations (even if said regulations go unenforced more than they should).

      AFAIK many states require (and Uber provides) commercial insurance while a rider is in the car.

    What happened to the legendary driver ratings system enforcing politeness?

      High turnover would be my guess. The rude driver you see is on his way out, only to be quickly replaced by another one.

        I wonder if it would be possible (and legal) to use machine learning algorithms to determine which driver applicants are likely to have low ratings.

          You probably just discover that the key factor was how much they get paid.
