You're right, the idea is so absurd. Must be some glitch in the matrix that a business like Uber has been operating successfully for more than a decade and is currently profitable. Now imagine if the chief operating expenditure (drivers) were eliminated too. Certainly such a business would fail, of course.

The comment here is glib and against community guidelines, but it should be somewhat obvious the ability for someone to be in the car and regulate poor behavior helps.

Strangers in your (personally owned and financed) vehicle who could trash it and leave you with... no vehicle or one that is slightly damaged, would cause at the very least a headache to you, the owner, and insurance on your vehicle to rise.
