Yet I wonder how much the ride quality will matter. If anyone can operate a ride service at scale that's significantly cheaper than Uber (without drivers to pay) and with a better safety record than most human drivers, I see these quirks being quickly overlooked. Like many bleeding edge innovations, early adopters and young adults will lead the way as it will make sense for many of them to go without owning a car.
Also, when such a service launches more widely, most of the miles will probably be driven on highways, which will probably be far less prone to surprises like jaywalking pedestrians.
