What I want is a THIRD PARTY involved if some stranger is driving me as I don’t like being a HOSTAGE to some Pakistani who might be behind the wheel, particularly if he has control of my luggage. If that means Uber, fine, if it means a taxi service that is based on paying the THIRD PARTY, not the Pakistani, fine. If it means a driverless car, where I don’t pay the (non-existent Pakistani) driver fine. In all these other cases, it’s no longer me being a hostage.
And don’t forget about changing a tire. I know how to do that, but the lug wrenches included with automobiles nowadays are these teeny-tiny, torqueless things that would require somebody with the strength of the Incredible Hulk to loosen machine-tightened lug nuts.
