It's not uncommon for wealthier families here in Guadalajara to have their 13-year-old daughter Uber around.

We sure do like our coddling in the USA, though, where it's even safer.

An example of someone writing about the problem: https://www.thecoddling.com/ -- Makes a good case how instilling these ideas in our youth that everyone is out to get them comes back to bite them (and us all) in the ass as they enter adulthood.

An example of an org trying to fix it: https://letgrow.org/

Of course, a self-driving car is even better than an Uber driver for various reasons, not the least because ape-driven vehicles aren't particularly safe.

I feel like choosing to uber or not is a big distance away from "coddling".
