The requirement for a late model, four dour, Uber approved vechicle is brilliant. With this requirement, you exclude a whole socioeconomic sector of the population out of the hiring process. What's ironic is these poeople might be better off?

I didn't quite understand it at first. I looked at the NY Uber approved vechicles, and threw up my hands.

I now get it. Oh, and it's not about car safety.

What was there ever to get? Their motto was "everyone's private driver", not "everyone's college buddy with a car"

People with private drivers get driven in expensive cars.
