Well, to be fair, I am basing this on literally nothing, since I don't use uber because a) I don't want to give money to those shitbags and b)I have a car meaning that my options are 40 dollar cab to the city, 30 dollar slightly nicer cab to the city, or a few bucks worth of petrol and the enjoyment of driving.
I don't use Lyft because they haven't launched here, so it's a bit tricky to get a driver to pick you up.
A car is a 2 ton steel bullet. I won't get into a car with someone else behind the wheel unless I trust them. Not gonna risk some rando having a nervous breakdown and not caring if they take me with them or not. Also, much like Churba, I enjoy driving.

That seems kinda ridiculous. But also whats to stop them from ploughing into your car?
I for one can't wait until I have a computer chauffeuring me around, but given that it's been rather a long time since I last drove a car, I'm perfectly willing to leave getting around up to somebody who drives as a job.

I'd be in a 2 ton safety cage that would not only protect me, but be under my control, meaning I could dodge them or, if I was definitely going to be hit, maneuver the car in such a way to minimize my own injury.
Voted in the UK general election this morning. I voted for a mainstream party that I don't particularly like but I met the candididate and exchanged a couple of emails and he seemed like the person who would best represent me. Still feeling dirty though.
I haven't seen our city respond so much to the tragic death of a local public figure since Selena was killed. Tons of people going to the funeral today. I'm watching the live stream of it.
I do not find it weird at all that I have an answer prepared in case I'm ever asked, "Why did you use a wrestling piledriver on that fifteen year old autistic girl?"
American train goes 100mph, derails, and people die. Japanese train goes over 200mph on purpose, no problem.
NYC should militarize Amtrak, invade neighboring states and upstate, and create a right of way for bullet trains between us and every major city within 150 miles.

Japanese trains will be going well over 300mph on purpose fairly soon. Test runs for the new bullet trains went well, they just need to lay more track.
To answer your question from four years ago, Scott, it turns out our traffic fatality rates really are lower than yours. 5.6 per hundred thousand people for Australia, and 11.6 per hundred thousand for the US.
And I must have heard it 4-5 times now, but I'm still crying with laughter at Luke's insane escalation of pranks.

Interesting idea. Not sure if anyone will go for it. Also somewhat surprising it was introduced by a Republican.
If so, maybe we should ban him...
