I'm all for being cynical and weary of mob hating. However, the article shows many times Uber is not trying to do anything.
The driver seemingly didn't get reprimanded or properly investigated by Uber. We don't know this for sure, but based on what went down, this seems to be the case. Uber lied to the police. Uber tried to turn it around against the victim for having so much evidence. When the victim was incredibly lucky to have a few of his evidence items (like photo on plane and security camera).
The victim (and police) were never able to get in contact with the driver. Shouldn't Uber have some sort of way for a customer of a driver to get into contact with said driver? The current way made it far too easy for the driver to get away with robbing the victim. This is possibly most damning against Uber -- they don't seem to be doing anything to change things. Perhaps they are. Changes don't happen overnight and they don't have to be transparent if they are trying to better things. So I'll definitely be humbled and retract my assumptions that Uber isn't trying to better things if they do in the coming months.
- vkou 9y ago> The driver seemingly didn't get reprimanded or properly investigated by Uber. Sure he did. He got a 1-star rating - surely this will weed out the bad agents from the system.
- skinnymuch 9y agoYeah the victim would surely give a 1 star. But I was basing what I said on when the article said: > Uber said that the driver had a good standing They could've been lying of course.
- rustid 9y agoIn court they said the driver was with them in good standing.
- skinnymuch 9y agoYeah that's why I said the driver seemingly didn't get any sort of reprimanding or negativity from Uber. I used seemingly because Uber lied to the cops. Can't rule out they won't lie in small claims court.
