Wow, I wonder how do they manage to cover the expenses of running a tech startup? We know that software business is capital and intellectual property heavy. How do these people do it?

Is Uber still operating at a loss? Hard to compete with that, even accounting for the 20% tax.
Uber invested a lot of money into self-driving cars. Presumably a coop isn't spending money on automating away their workers.

That is actually an interesting point. Why would I, as a driver, fund research and development aimed at making my skills worthless?
I think co-ops can actually be a good way of handling technology replacing manual labor. The profits made from the technological advancements can be put in a dedicated trust of the co-op that is focused on retraining the workers for new positions. With that you could handle inevitable technological progress.
I would probably pay 20% more and wait twice as long to contribute to a worker owned coop with each ride. Come to sf asap!

Software developers also work on tools that make software development easier.
