This is unbelievable, what a master plan from Uber.
All this licence show was actually a distraction fromt he main point, which is the driverless legal ground .
Now they have it, UBer can bring it on UK roads without a problem.
In 6-7 years almost everything  will be gone, they will snap 50% of the market in the first year, special the UBerX market.
Mr Hammond is due to announce regulation changes in Wednesday's Budget which will allow developers to apply to test driverless vehicles on UK roads.
Asked about the potential loss of jobs for drivers, he said the country could not "hide from change" and the government had to equip people with the skills "to take up new careers".

Yeah, they need the money to invest in Uber :))

PHV licence from £100 to £140 multipled with 90k cars = £3.6 millions more extra money just from cars every year which in total is £13 millions, use to be around £9 mil

NO WAY!!! although in the suburbs is cheaper indeed exec £7 and x £4 minimum

By owning a lux car you lose every week £400 in depreciation, so you start the week -400....
How much money do they make so they can afford this kinda of losses?
£1500 regularly minimum ?
Is it true?
most of the guys i asked they said is dead, barely make £1000

Guys how many times after you log off and drive to your home you cant get rid off the frustration generated by this job?
How many of you checking the map using the client app, fill your anger when you see different cars disappear and you're still waiting like a fool ?
How many of you bring all that frustration home and affects the quality of your life?
Being nervous and frustrated you don't feel like being nice to your wife or kids or pets ?

Be honest!

Autonomous cars will be commonplace by 2025 and have a near monopoly by 2030, and the sweeping change they bring will eclipse every other innovation our society has experienced.

I see and read and hear a lot about drivers dressing in shorts and t-shirts and hoodies, and flip flops, and that's all fine and good; to each their own. But I feel like if I'm providing a service to anyone, I'm gonna at least wear a button down shirt. That's my own personal rule though.
 

I am an Uber driver since early 2013, working in London since 2011 in this business.
 
I made this forum for all the Uber drivers who need new information and useful ideas for this business.
 
I do believe that knowing each other and sharing information can bring us many benefits.
 
Any ideas and pieces of advice regarding the website are welcomed
 
I want this to be like a big community, where we join and meet each other in the virtual environment.
 
!!! TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG !!!
