MeFi thread which has some good points about:
A Median driver generates $0.59 per mile of driving, and incurs costs of $0.30 per mile.
which seems like it's drastically under-valuing the actual cost of operating the automobile, and the true cost is unlikely to be less than $.50/mile and probably closer to at least $.60, and the externalities of automobiles, including traffic-related mortalities.

Great quote from that MeFi thread:
Uber is a tool for those young adults to make their subsidized cars fungible.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
