You make a valid point. PR 101 would say attack the problem up front. Be a part of the solution rather than having a solution put upon you. It indicates the lack of maturity business-wise that Uber has at this point. I'm guessing the CEO is not terribly open to questions and may very well have a coterie of proverbial…

While it is upsetting to see this happen to anyone from any source, this is sort of like trumpeting a Tesla on fire, when many other car brands catch fire a lot more. It's just a popular topic now. Over 1 million results on "Cab Driver" rape.

I rode with an UberX driver, in his Golf TDi, who had that sort of setup. He had a forward looking dash cam and a camera focused on the passenger compartment.

Oh, and they are highly customizable. Hatchback. Fancy Green. Racing Stripes. Cowcatcher. Tow hook (for track days).

It is aerodynamic.

Here's what they look like on fire.

I think you omitted the elephant in the room, even for Cadillac, and that is Tesla. I drive BMWs and love my dealership. They are great people and host great events for customers. In the case of Tesla, they blow my mind. They don't give you any problems. "Sure you can drive our $115k demo as fast as like" is basically…

Perhaps if the auto industry adopted a set of standards for these trips it would make them more above board and less expensive saving car buyers money in the very long run. For government and US DoD contractors the rules for travel create a level and more affordable playing field. If none of you received special…

A few thoughts:

An additional follow-up from Scott Monty:

From Scott Monty, former head of Ford's Global Social Media organization.

For the most part, Social Media experts turn social media "campaigns" into self-licking ice cream cones, to use a phrase coined by Brigadier Gen and Jedi Knight Pete Worden. They only live to serve themselves. This isn't always the case, but it is often the case in my opinion.

Plus, a lot of advertising isn't really about selling at all, it's about positive cognitive resonance. That's why BMW is doing a good job. They're making their customers feel good about their purchases. They're not chasing down the next sale necessarily, though I'm sure it's a metric they track as well.

The Mayor is forging ahead. This is coming up for a vote in a week.

If only Ford could fix train its dealers to be humane to other humans.

Excellent story. Not surprised at all. This young man reminds me of one of my soldiers in Iraq who was on loan to our unit. Quiet, reserved, with a lot of thought going on inside. I have no doubt he has dreams and aspirations and will continue to do great things for America in and outside the Army. My soldier was…

For a segment on The Today Show, the former Tonight Show host spent some time with Cpl. Laberge, who was wounded when a suicide bomber drove up to him in Afghanistan and detonated himself. The blast seriously wounded Laberge and killed his two colleagues.

Oh, this guy is a celebrity? In that case Jez WHO CARES?

I understand why my 2009 BMW has that exact connector, but I don't get it for a zillion dollar car. There is a fix. And it does work.

It is not attractive. Maybe the backend without the hideous letters is okay. The wheels are way out of proportion and the front is the worst.
