I dunno, I've been on a (authorized) shuttle at SXSW driven by a meth-head whereupon at the end of the trip everyone was sheet-white and couldn't say a word. Could Uber be worse?

No, most probably not. But the public policy for Austin must consider not just Uber, but any other company who would take advantage of the flex that would enable Uber to profitably operate there. It's Uber and Lyft now, but it's shady companies by the 10s and 20s afterwards. I like Uber a lot, and hope it survives in Chicago, but I understand why the issue is tricky.

It's not about safety. It's about money.

Did anyone take the driver's information and report him? (Or her?) This is one of the supposed advantages of the regulated systems - people report dangerous drivers who then lose their ability to be drivers.
