Uber themselves claim to do the vetting (and, IIRC, to provide hire
and reward insurance).

On of the cliams made against Uber is precisely that they don't provide
such 'fleet insurance' and so passengers have to trust that the driver
has bought his own.

That is the case with all taxis and pirate cars where the fleet belongs
to a multiplicity of individuals (strictly, it's the vehicle's
proprietor who buys the insurance, which will not always be the driver).

Since it applies widely, I'm not seeking to use it a stick for beating
Uber with.
