Ride-sharing service Uber is getting a lot of bad press these days. For a service that I‘ve personally gotten so much use out of, it is a shame that there are so many bureaucratic issues standing in its way around the world.
That being said, we do like it when our favourite tech or software companies are poked some fun at. With many countries around the world bemoaning safety practices of Uber, The Onion created an Uber parody video making it a feature, rather than a hindrance.
In order to get rides faster, prospective customers would pick a target vehicle on the app rather than hail a ride. When they get to the vehicle, they simple toss the current driver out of the car, a la Grand Theft Auto, and be on their merry way. Check out the video below:
