I think there is an element of what a &quot;reasonable&quot; person could be expected to evaluate properly.<p>The majority of the public (at least in the US) of a legal driving age possess a drivers license.  Even persons without a drivers license are generally familiar enough with cars&#x2F;vehicles to make a baseline assumption about the safety of the vehicle and&#x2F;or driver.  I&#x27;m not saying you can 100% accurately judge this, but that overall <i>most</i> people can make an informed decision about the risk they are undertaking with a ride-sharing service like Uber.<p>Conversely, most people do not have pilots licenses, familiarity with small aircraft, or an ability to properly judge safe vs. unsafe conditions.  Couple that with the fact that you are dealing with a method of travel that succeeds only if it can defy gravity without incident for the duration of the trip, and you have (IMO) a much much higher risk than with something like Uber.
