The point about Uber's model is that they don't own them
but that doesn't mean that the driver does either - he could be "borrowing"
it
(FTAOD - I'm not making some pedantic point about Lease-Hire)
The driver can't just turn up in a random borrowed vehicle. Uber must
approve, and knows exactly what car he drives. It presumably does some
checks on its ownership, suitability, whether it's licensed and insured for
private hire, etc.

The main complaint is that they don't (do much checking). And reportedly
the problem with insurance is they don't track cancellations and
renewals.
