You should make a phone app to calculate income for Uber and Lyft drivers.

  That would be a pretty interesting tool.

  I imagine that the tricky part is getting it to plug in to all the relevant information for the calculation. Uber won't let anything actually pull data from the app, and the driver would have to make sure to mark their mileage at the beginning and end of a shift so they can plug in the "amount driven". (They can't just copy over Uber's figure, which would only tell them paid miles driven.) You'd also want it to calculate the after-tax income, which would depend on their estimated income from other sources. If you could get that to work, though, I imagine you'd see a quick exodus.

    Uber does have a public API, not sure if it includes the stuff you need though.
