> Uber drivers have to drive well else they'll be reviewed poorly. If someone leaves a 1* review for their Uber driver saying that they drove through a red, there will be serious repercussions.

I really doubt that, people riding in ubers are too busy on their phones... and often the drivers are too which is why they are so unobservant.

Taxis in between jobs are on the look out for being hailed, they have their eyes on the road and on the street.

This is empirical, if you watch enough of them while they are around pedestrian crossings see how attentive they are by comparison.
