I think it sounds like a job killer, or a trend which leads to attrition and erosion of their driver base.
I hear radio commercials a lot for Uber. They stress how you can work your own schedule, be your own boss, etc., if you are an Uber driver.
If Uber doesn’t need human drivers, then Uber would not be creating these driver jobs for which they are advertising.
It’s called get with the times...think about the economic opportunity! Insurance companies would be a thing of the past, police revenue, rental cars would now be pick up with monthly fees...
The entrepreneurship is endless
