I wonder… I remember reading a scientific article (or looking at a headline in the grocery checkout line, donn’t remember which - Norm Macdonald) that noted that pizza delivery was one of the most dangerous jobs in America.
Presumably Uber mitigates some of that risk by having more info about their customers?
Smaller cars, generally owned by the driver with a rushed time frame and often staffed by teenagers made it a lot more dangerous back in the 90s. Drivers in large delivery trucks are a lot less likely to die in a wreck than a teenager in a Honda civic.
Fair. Admittedly, teenagers I think are some of the most dangerous drivers around (at least, God knows I was) so I suppose any job that disproportionately hired them…
Wonder if that includes Uber eats?
That would be seen as less risky for sure. Might even be less risky in practice.

Pizza delivery is dangerous because of the driving.
Really? That seems odd just because there are so mamy jobs that involve driving under time constrains…
