Seems to be working pretty well so far, especially compared to the highly regulated taxi industry.<p>&quot;a verbally abusive asshole who can&#x27;t drive well, blows smoke into your face at a 15 second interval, doesn&#x27;t know the city, and has basically no regard for human life or decency&quot; sounds a lot more like taxi drivers than Uber drivers (with the exception of &quot;doesn&#x27;t know the city&quot;, fortunately we have other mobile apps for that too!)
