Indeed, hundreds of thousands of anonymous bots signing a petition started by the Uber PR machine. I bet their are dozens of guys on this board that could "help" Uber get even more sigs.
This is how the tech giants brilliantly play the social media game these days. They whip up the dullards into a frenzy. Its a bit like the gun lobby in the US and the poor saps who fall for the shite that they spew out.
They call it disruptive tech - its actually profits through creating a monopoly, ignoring regulations, and gouging the pay and conditions of the drivers.
Uber has lost, and continues to lose billions of dollars globally. Its investors are more than happy to fund the land grab. The strategy is not difficult to see through - put the competition out of business, then when actually driverless vehicles are a reality - bye bye Uber driver.
The end result will be a truly amazing business - on a scale that no one will ever be able to compete with because the cost of entry will be off the scale.
A global monopoly of driverless cabs and a company run by a couple of hundred people in California.
