Uber is a frigging service for calling a taxi, how much "R&D" does a mobile app connected to a database need?

  Brainstorming new fees to add on to their services that the drivers don’t get a cut of takes up a few billion a year I would imagine.

  They spent billions and billions on trying to make self-driving a thing.

    So they burnt money and have nothing to show for it? Why do we let these companies play around with billions of dollars while we lack universal childcare or medicare for all? Complete looney toons over here if you think this is at all acceptable. I bet the workers would figure out a better use of the budget than the executives at this rate too.

  Your local taxi company probably has a white-labelled app - that’s the obvious point of comparison. For the companies in my areas, their apps feel kinda clunky, but are generally fully-functional, and don’t contain ads like the Uber app.
