Or, when you get a driver that makes you fear for your life because they are spending more time paying attention to their three GPS devices instead of traffic, do you get a $1 refund for the un"safe" ride?

The last time I took an Uber to SFO, the driver stepped out of the Prius without pressing the "Park" button. Maybe I would have gotten my $1 back.
Did they have the parking brake on? Not a big deal if so, though inadvisable.
The fact that it started to roll through the terminal 2 drop-off (with me in the back) would indicate otherwise.
sorry I haven't used uber, what does the driver not pressing the 'park' button do?
The [park] mode of a Prius's transmission is button-activated.
And when the driver demands that I guide his entire journey from my own smartphone, do I get a partial refund for my navigation consulting fee?
Where are you guys having these bad experiences? I don't use Uber much, but I have used Sidecar in SF about once a week for around two years without a single bad experience, and I would have thought Uber had an even higher standard.
If you complain uber will generally refund you
I highly doubt they do refund that, but that brings up a very good point.
