After having two nightmare drivers this week where I actually had to end the ride early and get out of the car, I can't wait for self-driving cars, and whatever service that rolls out self-driving cars first is going to get all of my business.
Yeah; that's ultimately why Uber treats driver quality as a short term problem and they don't do a lot more pre-employment checks... it's a problem they'll fix by removing the drivers entirely; so better to sweep it under the rug and by the time they get in trouble, it will be too late...
