This must impact quality at some point. Either driver competence will decline or vehicle maintenance will be dangerously put off.

When I take a Lyft or Uber ride the vehicle is frequently showing some sort of warning light or overdue maintenance indicator on the dashboard.

Speaking as a tire/lube shop technician, a large percentage of the general populace has a warning light of some sort on at any time... Maybe %20 (that we see, if course) in our coverage area, which is a 20k population city and the surrounding rural area.

How often, would you guess, is it a bad sensor vs. an actual vehicle operational issue?

[alistairSH]

That’s a scary thought. My experience with Uber has already shown both terrible driving and crappy cars (for normal rides - Uber black has been fine).

I can confirm this with my own anecdote. (Note, this is also true of most us taxis I have been in)
