Premium implies no one else is a professional driver at their profession of driving…
My great-grandmother just died this year at 100 years old. She was still driving after 90, and she was perfectly competent at it in the farm town where I grew up. Her daughter, on the other hand, is a horrible driver. I mean, shaky on the wheel, stabby on the pedals, and just looking everywhere but forward. I’d be amazed she hasn’t been involved in some horrible wreck except for the fact that she rarely leaves the house. Being 80 will do that to you, I suppose.

Yes, but look at it this way: you’re safer in the car with them then outside the car while they drive.
I live on the second floor… If that’s how I die, clearly it’s what the universe wanted.
I was scared this was real.
My grandfather had a near miss in his 70s, and gave up his license. He thought it was no longer worth the risk.
Only if they sit in the back and I drive.
And say, “What a nice, young person you are.” the whole way.
Of course! What could be more dystopian than letting an old fart work for me for an absolute shitty salary? Awesome.
Oh, I can think of lots of things.
Oh, me too. Sadly so.
Good that they have Uber Black though.
Imma all about the green tho 👽
… That’s a grey.
Two of my CC came with free Uber One/Lyft and I rarely use a driving service but when I do I use Uber Black or Lyft Pink. For me at least it’s just a few bucks more and you get a town car and pro driver which is 1000% better experience.

Uber Black is “Luxury rides with professional driver.”
“Professional” insinuates “paid”, so the other Uber drivers aren’t paid?
Uber Black drivers are commercially licensed in addition to satisfying a bunch of other requirements.

Ahh, I thought it was saying you’d share the ride with a 95+, I’d really enjoy that XD
Driver, not so much
I’d be cool swapping with the driver so they can take a load off in the passenger seat.
My grandma drove through a grocery store (back when she was alive and in her early 80s). Nope
This is more c/aboringdystopia
It’s kind of depressing that elder, as defined by uber, is older than most people live to be.
is that not how elder should be defined?
The average life expectancy for Americans is 79. In the US at least we define “senior citizen” as over 60 (legally and for healthcare), that seems like a reasonable age for elder to start.
you seriously think that the majority of people should become elders?
Americans over the age of 65 represent less than 20% of the population. The group of people 60 to 64 is 6.5% of the population. That’s not even a quarter of the population.
As to your question, yes. Even if it was 90% of the population that was 60+. being an elder, senior citizen, a member of the grandparent generation, olds, or whatever you’d like to call them has more to do with the individual’s age than how many of them there are.
Wtf!?
It’s not real

Waiting for Uber Maven
For 8 bucks, probably not. But depending on the discount and total price maybe.
