- Rick SegalFormer USAF, MSFT, VC, now w/Samsung.Pros:Cons:
Easy ability to armchair drive an uber.
nothing material
If you want to truly understand where the so-called 'gig economy' is going, this little simulation is for you. It's challenging and depressing all at once. Maybe people will better understand all this 'disruption' and such? Doubtful but one can hope.

This is really well done and clearly created with empathy
None that I can find after a day of playing.
