I can’t speak to all of the US, but circa 2010 there was still a ton of people driving “private cars” in Brooklyn. You would negotiate up front with the driver and pay cash. My guess is 100% of those guys use Uber now.

True, but you wouldn't hail them from a random location in the city. You'd have to be in the right place to find them.
