@alexsf4248العام الماضيVery interesting interview, I learned quite a bit about the history of Uber. Was disappointed though on the Pollyana perspective about the treatment towards id="hidden3" class="buttons"> drivers. It’s obvious that to Uber the most important consideration is towards investors/stockholders. Drivers are cannon fodder, a dime a dozen in the current Macro Economics. ....وسعت6

@sunshineman4394العام الماضيVery interesting interview, in particular his driving experience and perspective on the industry. The comments here are entertaining, because it's id="hidden5" class="buttons"> very valuable to get info from people who have built what we're doing and get their views. He knows what he's talking about. ....وسعت

@joshfuentes8788قبل 11 أشهرIs that Taxi driver he talking about at still making 4x or not and why?
@
@samkitt8873العام الماضيSo glad to hear about the marvels of Uber but why are you not talking about Uber taking larger and unpredictable portions of the fares? Or the new algorithm id="hidden6" class="buttons"> setting fares, bonuses and boosts unequally among drivers? Or just raising fares to pay drivers better? ....وسعت2
@
@johndavidson4210العام الماضيCurrent driver issues received very little real focus in this puff piece. The gaming of the drivers is becoming more and more pronounced. Clipping id="hidden7" class="buttons"> the drivers happens at almost every point of contact in the Uber Driver relationship chain And it's what's behind it is fairly obvious. Making share holders happy. So if Uber thinks the current status quo will go on indefinitely they're in for a huge surprise. ....وسعت6

@topofthegreenالعام الماضيDriverless cars are here, and they will take over, the days of making a living doing ride share are over.
@
@tonyjones2513العام الماضيSo Uber has found yet another way to screw drivers over on the weekly quest! Moving from just having to reach ride totals, now you have to reach a certain id="hidden8" class="buttons"> dollar amount! They figure it will be harder to reach a dollar amount as opposed to the previous ride total, so you can reach your normal weekly 40 ride amount to get your quest but if you didn't meet the dollar amount you have to exceed your normal rides total to get the quest and still mat not meet it so Uber gets MORE money from you and not have to pay the quest I have never seen a company work so hard to screw over the people that do the work! ....وسعت1
