For me the video humanizes Uber drivers - the people who have the most to lose when Uber brass damage the company through scandal and mismanagement. The fact that Kalanick dismisses the driver's opinions on what might be good for the company reveals the fragility of his ego. If he'd listen to the opinions of the people who actual make Uber work, he might learn a lot.

The drivers are just a stopgap until most Uber rides are self driving cars.

They're all screwed in the end anyway.

The problem is, Uber will be gone too, unless they will provide a valet service or become a brand for one of the big car companies.
