Is driver verification a hard thing here? Or simple to solve with a web of trust, assuming you could seed it with enough good actors?

I think Uber verifies driver quality/qualifications and vehicle roadworthy-ness?



It's actually not that easy, especially at scale. Background checks cost money/time + compliance requirements are vastly different between regions/states/cities.

And there are tons of government systems you need to get data from. And some counties require in-person visit to obtain court records. And you need those records to make valid assessments.
