I’m not even sure why the issue is around arbitration. I just pulled up there TOS[0], and in section 8 is has verbiage that frees them from any and all liability. IANAL, but this seems like pretty standard stuff I’d expect from any car service, where they aren’t responsible for injury or death. > UBER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR … PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH … RESULTING FROM ANY USE OF THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE NEGLIGENCE Arbitration or in a court, where is their case when this is in the TOS?

TOSs aren't nearly as binding as you would think, particularly if a reasonable person would click "agree" yet not at least roughly understand the terms. A general "You release the company from even negligent liability" is just sovereign-citizen-like wishful thinking. This is part of why they include this classic: > If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent under law.
