Customer Supported

After Uber crushed the De Blasio administration when it feebly attempted to halt the service’s explosive growth in New York City, a customer wrote to the company to ask about the F U T U R E. Fortunately, customer service representatives are standing by to answer any of your questions and concerns about the machines or, presumably, anything else.

HI L,

Thanks for writing in. I know this may be a concern but not right now. The important thing is providing jobs for people who needs it the most in this industry. It may take a while before automated cars become a standard.

If you have more questions, I’m here to answer any you might have.

What will happen the “10,000” jobs created when all cars become automated?

Your voice was heard and it made a difference.

THANK YOU
We want to thank you for your support in keeping Uber — and NYC — moving.

As NYC Deputy Mayor Shorris said, we have “agreed to maintain [our] approximate current rate of growth” and we look forward to welcoming thousands of new driver partners onto our platform to support the 100,000 new riders trying Uber in New York City each month for the first time.

The terms of the agreement with Mayor de Blasio’s administration and the City Council are to collaborate on a transportation study, and work together on ways to continue expanding economic opportunity, mobility, and transportation access across the city. New drivers will continue to be able to join the for-hire industry, and partner with Uber.

This is great news for all New Yorkers, including Uber riders and drivers. Your voice made it possible.
