    Google to bring its ride game into Uber's backyard
    Google will launch a ride service in the Bay Area that will eventually be open to all Waze users near San Francisco this fall. It will be different than Uber and Lyft, operating as a way to connect riders with drivers heading in the same direction, at a rate of 54 cents per mile. (Wall Street Journal)

    "Waze". .... I gotta look that one up. Never heard of it. $0.54/mile! Thats dirt cheap! I'm down. Too bad Uber isn't already publicly traded... I'd short the spit out of it.

    Judge rejects Uber settlement on rider fees
    A U.S. District Judge ruled that Uber's proposed settlement of $28.5 million was insufficient because Uber made16 times that amount– $448 million – from a controversial Safe Ride Fee. The fee was introduced as a way to cover the costs of background checks as well as vehicle and insurance checks, but consumers complained the checks were not thorough.(Bloomberg)
