You'd share an Uber with her? Or would she be driving the Uber? Sounds fascinating either way.

You'd share an Uber with her, yeah. I guess it only lasted a few minutes.
There was another time I think in Denver (might not be remembering correctly) where an event allowed users to hail a helicopter for a ride. Rumor had it that the event was so busy that the helicopter was cheaper than Uber Select at certain points.
Took a looooong time for them to disappear and I'm still not convinced more than a handful of people cared.
People didn't really like her internally. She was good friends with Travis apparently and that's about as far as the relationship to the company seemed to go.
There was once a time where employees could request a ride with her directly from the app but to be honest the prospect sounded horrifying.
