&gt; Uber is eliminating drunk driving fatalities now? Those same people couldn&#x27;t have called a cab before Uber existed?<p>Speaking for myself, I take Uber&#x2F;Lyft regularly but would have never even considered attempting to call a cab and dealing with the cost&#x2F;uncertainty inherent to that. I&#x27;d much rather not spend an hour waiting outside for a cab that ultimately decides not to show up. Rather than deal with cabs, I would simply just not have had a drink if I didn&#x27;t have a designated driver.
