“Don’t worry if an independent contractor rapes you, just give him 1 star and the free market will fix the problem.”

Would love to hear other perspectives but I personally feel much safer in an Uber where I know the entire ride is being tracked by a corporation that won't risk its reputation to retain a potentially creepy driver.

It's the other way around. An employer is legally responsible for an employee's actions while working. Uber says, "They're not employees, they just use our app." So Uber has no incentive to carefully vet drivers. It's only after an Uber driver rapes someone that they kick them off their system.
