The “ride-sharing” company Uber has become remarkably
polarizing over the last year. Venture capital firms still love Uber’s
prospects, as reflected in a recent $40 billion valuation.1 Yet
the company seems determined to alienate just about everyone
else.2 Taxi drivers have cast Uber as an unsafe and rapacious
competitor, leading lawmakers to shut it out of various markets.3
Uber’s claim that its average New York City driver earns
over $90,000 a year was so hard to verify that a Slate writer entitled
her article “In Search of Uber’s Unicorn.”4 And in what
some have called “Ubergate,”5 a senior executive stated that the
company might investigate the personal and family lives of its
critics—in particular a female journalist who accused it of disregarding
female passengers’ and drivers’ saf

uhh, except the millions of customers who use it and like it? What kind of shit writing is this? Would love to see how public approval of Uber stacks up against any elected politicians, or other corps for that matter.

I did. This belongs in The Atlantic, not a law review. Just lol at the conclusion, too:
Which brings us back to the public’s mistrust of Uber. The company’s name clearly evinces Nietzsche’s vision of a new morality and a new class dedicated to human excellence. But in Uber executives’ hands, that ideal has become little more than a defense of privilege. The company’s leaders seem just fine with a future in which the many are supplicant to the few, and the few are licensed to disregard ordinary rules. Uber’s slogan—“Everyone’s private driver”—speaks volumes. Perhaps the public’s intuitive skepticism toward Uber reflects a widespread sense that our economy should reflect basic democratic values. Given Uber’s size, power, and ambitions, whether lawmakers ensure that it advances those values may shape the future of low-wage work.

Seriously though, other than piecing together every criticism of Uber that has been thrown out there by various journalists, she presents no real evidence of "public mistrust" or "the public's intuitive skepticism" of Uber in the article.

explain this:
"Uber is a critical price-setting intermediary,
and it may be keeping fares artificially low by compensating
drivers in part out of its capital reserves.19 Once the company
takes on greater financial responsibilities for safety, as it surely
will, costs will go up, forcing the question of where the marketclearing
price really lies."

Uber seeks to undermine the taxi business.
it seems unquestionable that Uber aims
to undermine traditional taxi service, and it seems manifestly
unfair that taxi drivers and Uber drivers can operate in the
same market subject to different rules. This is especially true insofar
as Uber floods the market with part-time drivers during
peak periods.26 Uber may therefore cut off one classic path to the
American Dream: that taxi drivers can work their way up the
income ladder, from a driver to the owner of their own car, and
then to an owner of multiple cars.

For example,
courts in Germany and the United States have enjoined some of
Uber’s services on safety grounds,30 and not without reason. An
Uber driver in San Francisco struck and killed a young girl, possibly
at a time when he was distracted by Uber’s app. His insurance
may not cover her family’s losses, and Uber’s commercial
coverage was not in effect at the time since he was not carrying
a fare.31 Uber drivers have also assaulted passengers and committed
other crimes—most notably when a driver in Washington,
DC, took several riders on a high-speed chase.32
