Arriving at San Diego International Airport, I decided to use Uber for the first time. Why not have my “Private Driver” and add to the Adventure? The promise of “transportation in minutes” sounded great.

“Samantha* is here to help us work together as a team,” Al beamed.
Samantha gazed on plastic smiles and quiet, nodding heads. She knew their performance had been dismal. She needed to find out if they trusted each other or were just being polite.
