Absolutely not. Trusting my life to some random probably earning a bad wage in a call center for remote drivers? No.

Also such a company would have massive liabilities. You can’t just wave away killing someone with a contract clause

You've never been in a cab or taken an uber?

The huge difference is that the cab driver has skin in the game aka his life is on the line while driving too. So he has every interest in avoiding accidents
