They've learned absolutely nothing from two decades of failed wars vs torrenting.

No he did not acknowledge that, please quote him if I missed it somehow. He presented a long list, as fact, and when questioned for a source he dodged the question, then when asked again he claimed he drove a lot one year. But the claims he's making are about other drivers and factors he simply could not determine as a single driver in a limited region. The original post, as it was written is absolute useless ignorance at best and active disinformation at worst.

Oh I have like 9000 rides, so since I claim that it must be true and now my opinions turn to facts according to you. Cool.

Actually that is incorrect. The Hertz deal does not cover all maintenance expenses, for example if you blow a tire on a pothole, you have to pay for it. There are a lot more of those exceptions in the fine print, so be sure to read it all!

The number of rides isn't unbelievable. What is unbelievable is that 2000 rides by 1 person would render a data set that would scientifically support even a fraction of the claims in his original post.

You are correct. It relies on replacing the drivers they are exploiting with robots that don't require a living wage. This is absolutely that discussion, like it or not.

Its not different. But its also not the reason for why their business model is unsustainable, great straw man though.

With all due respect, my experience has been the complete opposite of yours. Do you by chance have any evidence for these claims or are they simply your best guess asserted as fact?

Would be great if you tried to look up that information and cite your claim.
