Except now those people who would normally be drivers now get zero dollars from Uber. I do agree with you that this is the way for the future and I'm all behind it, however doing this does cut out jobs (eventually) for a lot of drivers. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, and I suspect there will always be at least some human drivers. I live in a small town and I really couldn't see them justifying the cost of this here. Where I live there's currently one 1 or 2 uber drivers anyway, and they aren't always active and I just have to call the regular taxi company.
