Being charitable to the quality of Uber's legal team, I feel they could easily and compellingly have offered this defense.
It's telling that other documentary evidence highlighted that Uber decided sharing its reservations/acting on its system would be detrimental to growth.

Yes, and Uber is very comfortable telling me that rides are at a higher price and that I may wish to wait for a few minutes for a lower price. So it would seem that they are capable of identifying averages and determining whether data fall above or below the averages.
- tpmoney 9mo agoAnd so what messaging do you propose Uber puts in their app for this? "Your driver has a higher than average probability of assaulting you, you may want to wait for another driver"? That will last until the first driver sues for slander. It's one thing to tell you that "prices are higher right now" it's a completely different thing to imply to you that your driver is a criminal.
