drivers

The drivers came both from academia and industry and by all means it worked really well and remains highly innovative.

A non-profit Uber, cooperatively controlled by both drivers and developers, is an obvious example of a great system that would work very well and be immensely popular with drivers.

It runs the same drivers as Linux which is great for old printers or those without MacOS support.

Uber is one since they need to get critical mass of drivers/riders in many cities to take over.

They are stockpiling cash in expectation of having to pay drivers as employees and provide benefits, etc...

Why don't you or anyone else write an app and go create a network of drivers?

The drivers, at bottom, are personal, which explains why the discussions aren't intellectually interesting—they're driven by a different kind of interest.

The main change when Apple purchased the project was a license change to allow proprietary drivers when running on OS X.

Our team is responsible for the core experience for drivers on the Uber platform.

We're building tools for our customers, our drivers, our internal staff, and our vendors.

The more drivers Uber has, the better the service and the lower the prices.

However, more users lead to more drivers, which minimizes the chance Uber disappoints me.

"Build loyalty to charge people more and pay drivers less".

Most Uber drivers are much more like 1099 contractors, but I think for this purpose a general notion of what a "sharing economy" entails is sufficient for the purposes of comparison with this idea.

From Wikipedia, "A network effect is the effect that one user of a good or service has on the value of that product to other people." It's as simple as this: the more users Uber has, the more drivers it will have.
