    It's so crazy how we've just embraced ride-hailing in the way we've embraced our smartphones, which are just as bad.

    Big Tech doesn't care if a passenger is attacked by psycho driver.
    Big Tech doesn't care if a driver is attacked by a psycho passengers.
    Big Tech doesn't care if an accident happens, either.
