Chimpanzies are better than humans given a reward structure they understand. The next battlefield evilution are chimpanzies hooked up with intravenous cocaine modules running around with 50. cals
There's laws about mis-treating animals. Driving a taxi would surely count as inhumane torture.

it has to do with the processing of information and decision-making, not data capture
