Uber drivers don’t always need four wheels, front-facing passenger seats and top speeds over 50 miles an hour just to drive people or deliveries from one place to another in a city. So Uber is working with automakers to create custom-built cars for urban ride- hail and delivery work, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said.
Many cities, like New York, have low speed limits which make higher horsepower, and, in turn, large and expensive battery packs, unnecessary. Also, in the US and Europe, vehicles with low top speeds can be held to less stringent crash safety standards than vehicles capable of highway speeds. For urban deliveries, especially, passenger vehicles can be wasteful of space and power since packages are usually much smaller than people and don’t require seatbelts and airbags.
Wow that’s sounds terrible . Way to think it through Uber👍🏻
Disaster

Might work on short rides. Metro north, facing seats is tough and theyre spaced okaay...kicking seat back terrible though.
