My personal experience in Uber/Lyfts (pre-covid, I used them multiple times a week for several years) is that they’re probably more dangerous than driving myself (>80% of rides are very safe / normal, but the 1-20% where I think they’re driving too fast or recklessly seem like most of the risk). I personally would be happy to pay 10% more to guarantee a safer driver, especially on e.g. a rainy day. I think I probably have more experience driving than most Berkeley EA’s though / feel more confident in my driving skills.
