Question about Uber.

3. There's no objective evidence you got into a cab

Without making any larger point about Uber's business model, there is no cab company on the planet who knows who is getting into what cab, and very few cab companies that actually know, moment-to-moment, where their cabs are.

I'm not sure what kind of "documentation" you are thinking is generated when you get into a yellow cab on a street somewhere - or how you know it is actually a real cab and not a fake cab.

With Uber, you see the driver's picture, make and model of car, and the license plate number before the car even arrives. The app records, on Uber's server, who was picked up where, when, by whom and where they went. You don't get that kind of data recording with cabs.
