- sourceless 9y agoYou have to pay a human to take you. Humans are expensive.
- daxaxelrod 9y agoThis is the right answer
- rubicon33 9y agoand smelly, and talk too much, and the biggest one of all: suck at driving.
- aianus 9y agoThe human part is pretty cheap compared to the other parts at least here in Toronto: Car insurance $220 (20h at minimum wage) Car payment $780 (70h at minimum wage) Gas $200 (18h at minimum wage) Parking $250 (22h at minimum wage) If I didn't enjoy driving and having a nice car, it would already be cheaper to Uber everywhere.
- zjaffee 9y agoMaybe I'm getting confused due to currency changes, but I think you could certainly divide all of those numbers by two in many American markets.
- smm2000 9y ago$780/m lease is payment for 6 years pays for 60k car. More realistic lease payment is $200-$250/m. Average insurance in US is ~$100/m
- jrowley 9y agoAutonomous cars should be a cheaper than Uber eventually. Additionally I imagine they will be more reliable, which is something you can't necessarily guarantee with a random uber driver.

- spikels 9y agoDrivers have to rate you before they see your tip unless you give a cash tip.
