The interesting thing for me is how Uber frame their method of evaluating drivers as better than taxi industry regulation. Obviously a single incident in itself doesn't mean anything but if there is significant percentage of incidents it would indicate that the vetting needs to be changed. It reminds me of the airbnb story about an apartment getting trashed that got a lot of attention here a couple of years back. It ended up spurring airbnb to launch a range of changes to make the service safer for users. If we had buried that then the changes may never have happened.
