Uber made it a problem for themselves. If they used any sort of linear scale it could've been useful. I've never seen a driver with rating lower than 4. TBH, I'm not sure if I ever saw one lower than 4.7. What's the point of this rating scale? It's compressed to the point of being meaningless. Likewise, there are no way to get a rating better than the default 5. So there's no incentive for drivers to be better than average.
