It’s interesting the level of control that Uber has (i.e. rejecting a driver application based on the make and model of car, renting smartphones to run the app).

I don't think it's bad to have high standards. Taxi companies have much higher standards on cars all around Europe.

It's not bad at all, but the point is that in the UK, the less control you have, the more likely it is that your relationship to the company you drive for will be considered employment.
