I am really excited for this. Once going home with my family via Uber in SFO we realized on the freeway that our driver was high and driving at 80-85 mph.

It was a really scary experience and I couldn’t do much about it in the moment.

One time my driver had a TV show playing on their dashboard phone on 101.

This happens to me >70% in the Bay peninsula now.

I tried to report this and Uber does not make it easy. It does not fit in any of the multiple choice categories and there's no freeform. At least there was none back then, started to use waymo.

I also had someone do this while their Tesla was in self driving mode. When I insisted he turn it off, he said “it’s not about you bro”.

Make sure to do whatever "express interest" is required inside the app. We've often done a first-come, first-served approach for getting people off of waitlists, so get in now :).

How could you tell they were high?

> How could you tell they were high?

In New York it's not too difficult. Fidgitiness, twitchiness, rambling series of non sequiturs that make even my ADD brain rattle. Screaming at traffic and running on the margin one second and then asking me if I know that the archangel who visited Muhammed was actually a demon the next. (I'm not Muslim. The conversation wasn't addressed to anyone in the vehicle.)

Like, I guess I can't say they're taking too much of a substance. But if they aren't, they're taking too little.

That is just how a lot of people are. They could be on the spectrum. They could be talkative. You don’t know them. You have no baseline for their behavior.

[6thbit]

Would you say the same if the claim was they were drunk?

[kjkjadksj]

Sure if there was no obvious physical impairment

[whimsicalism]

high on what?

[junon]

Does it matter? Can't think of a single substance that's safe for driving a car.

[whimsicalism]

antidepressants?

[kjkjadksj]

Amphetamines certainly

[starik36]

High on life!

[asadm]

mj likely? which should be illegal.

[GuinansEyebrows]

is there any place on earth where it's not expressly illegal to be under the influence of cannabis while operating a motor vehicle?

[iammattmurphy]

Speed?
