Uber / Lyft pay their drivers so poorly and continue to abuse US tipping culture so badly that drivers have to work crazy hours for any reasonable pay. This is now a hazard as it's not uncommon to find drivers starting to fall asleep at the wheel. I welcome this technology but hope some better players emerge than these usual scumbags.
Zoox's position is unfortunate because they basically had to sell themselves five years ago in order to keep operating. It takes extremely deep pockets to get this cutting-edge technology on the road while successfully navigating the winding roads of regulations and public trust.
