With all the shady practices Uber engages in, I'm surprised they haven't already thought to do this themselves.

It could be a success in the US if you let people pay to not get hit ;) (people buy a tracker). Maybe this is the way to finally introduce universal health care.

Uberlance. Just Uber with some band-aids in the backseat and they clean up blood stains for you.

The Sand Hill Road folks will only invest if you can also switch all ambulance drivers over to non-employee commission only contractors.
