Neither should Uber. I never needed to show ID to hail a cab. You just stood at the corner and waived your arm. Are we talking about Uber drivers here? That makes some sense. But passengers? (I don't know, I don't use Uber).

Because you need a valid driver's license to drive, so if I'm contracting you to do any amount of driving, an extremely standard practice is to see if your license is good.

Ensuring that their drivers have a valid drivers license at least makes a little sense.
