brilliant--from Uber's perspective, that is. Basically you dump all the
capital costs, and all the economic and personal-security risk onto the
driver, while skimming off a massive chunk of the revenues. The only value

collection on behalf of the driver. Otherwise, that's it.
It's fashionable to say how economically wonderful it is that Uber has
