What I want is for Uber to allow me to put in what I am going to tip before the ride. I'd pay $20 for a ride each way if I know I shouldn't be driving home. But the driver has no way to know that and none of them accept the ride.

Self driving cars would be great but I'm betting there will still be some liablity on the human in the car if they are drunk.

The owner(s) of driverless vehicles will never be absolved of liability in its operation
