“Uber is making a major shift with its new Auto model, moving towards a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) approach. Here’s what’s different… Uber will connect you with nearby drivers, but the service itself is independent of Uber,” the company said in a separate blogpost.
It further said no trip-level commission is charged to drivers, and made it clear that Uber only provides the platform.
“Uber does not levy any cancellation charges, Uber suggests a fare, but the final amount is decided by the driver and you,” it added.
