So buy another make of car. With most car manufacturers, the software stays the same from the moment you drive off the forecourt, for the next X years of ownership, gradually getting more an more out of date. A most usually you can purchase a map update for the sat-nav at a high price.
One of the reasons people buy Teslas is they know they will get software improvements as they own it. That's especially valuable for Autopilot.
It became normal a very long time ago. In the 1960s/70s, IBM used to offer two sizes of hard disk for their mainframes. In fact they only manufactured one. Upgrading from one to the other consisted of an engineer coming out and opening the case and flicking a switch.
Technically yes. Legally, no. We had a case just a couple of weeks ago of a leasing company disabling a car remotely after the lease had been paid off in full, because they wanted a fee to take out their tracker.
Legal when it was still under lease. Illegal once the driver had paid off the lease and bought the car.
When the car belongs to someone else, you can't disable it.
No they're not. Uber drivers are self employed, Uber can't instruct them to take any rides.
Contrary to the assumptions here, Uber are providing the free rides via a promo code in the app "TBSHELTER". Rider gets ride free. Driver gets paid normal rates.
But if they driver doesn't want to go out driving he doesn't have to.
You are wrong. To get the free rides, people use the Uber app, and enter TBSHELTER as a promo code. Clearly only Uber could organise that, not the drivers themselves.
If Uber pay the driver to clean up vomit, they charge the passenger. If you didn't have extra money taken from your account by Uber, then the driver wasn't paid.
It's not an issue because Uber originally advertised their service as not needing a tip, and most riders don't. Tips are an occasional bonus, not expected.
Drivers are rating on whether another driver should pick you up or not. If you don't try to rip them off, are not overtly rude, and don't vomit, then you're going to get 5 stars. There are not that many jobs available that they are going to try to stick to tippers only.
Equally they are not going to rate you on whether you are an interesting conversationalist.
The ride ends when the driver swipes the end button. And until he does so, they won't get another job. It's nothing to do with your GPS position.
If it happened twice to you over the weekend, it looks like a bug. I'd check your statement. But it's more likely to be a client error than anything to do with the actual trip, I'd have thought.
It's not out of the goodness of their hearts, obviously. Uber has had a terrible year of bad press, and that's bad for their bottom line. They have a new CEO now, that's hopefully not a complete dick like the last one. And they are on a path to improving matters.
Why would I care about credit score, given that I don't borrow money? I'm not going to spend my life trying to please some shadowy credit agency who are trying to spy on me.

There's no law that says you must look at your phone when they tell you.
Yes, both 3.5 mm mono jacks and 1/4" stereo jacks existed in the 1960s.
And yes it was probably the Walkman that first combined the two into a 3.5mm stereo jack. But that was in 1979, not the 90s.
Your 1960s jack socket is never coming back.
Someone who wants a home button.
Not eyes open. Eyes looking at the phone.
If you're just going to hold them until they do it, then that's no worse than a password, and it's better than touchID (which you can force).

If there's a lack of power grid, that will kill the gas stations too. Besides he gas might already have gone due to panic buying.

Or maybe Tesla could just stop artificially crippling the batteries?
They already did some moths back. The 60kWh isn't an option any more. 75kWh is now the minimum.
I know for a fact that they charge the passengers for cleaning up vomit.
No they're not. Uber drivers are self employed, Uber can't instruct them to take any rides.

But if they driver doesn't want to go out driving he doesn't have to.
Wrong. The offer works via the promo code TBSHELTER in the app. Uber is offering the free rides, not the drivers.

No it couldn't as the drivers are self employed, not employees. Many drivers use both Uber and Lyft apps at the same time to get jobs.
If you think it's possible to only gain in the stock market, then you certainly don't know what you are doing.
Wrong. I've just tried it.
Navigate to... and Directions to... both open up Apple maps with the route ready.

Why on earth would you think that makes a tip necessary?
You haven;t recognised that Apple users have chosen Apple devices. And whenever they are polled, they are pretty happy about it.
Why are YOU trying to interfere with their choices?
Tipping never used to be in the Uber app. You could tip the driver in cash if you wanted, but there was no requirement.
But just recently, they've added tipping into the app. Again it's optional.
