Did you try it? I assume it would make you download the app before you could actually use it. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Nope. I haven't had need to use Uber since they stopped messing with the local car circulation laws in 2016. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | My driver today was a real prick. He refused to discuss Uber with me. He said many of his passengers just want to say negative things about Uber and he's sick of it.

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Totally, completely free Driverless Cars proposed by abandoning the Uber model of route selection and group rides but embracing a 'stop or drive-by' that is commercially oriented and based on the rider's known metrics. So it will be get a free ride but stop for fifteen minutes at Starbucks or get a free ride but slow down while passing a certain House For Sale and listening to its associated phone message. These Sponsored Rides will replace drivers and event-glut caused by concerts or the like. |

Sounds to me like supposedly smart people over-complicating a simple concept of charge from point A to B. The President is a fink. |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | You do have a point but its similar to those urban bicycles that are free to use but have "generic" advertising. Its simply a way of replacing the generic advertising with very personalized commercial "lures" so that the cost is borne by merchants, not riders. Uber would not be monetizing data about a travelers desires for a taxi but would be monetizing a traveler's commercial metrics to get him a ride to his destination via a particular Place of Commerce somewhat unique to him. |
