jarfil,

One word: trust.

  • Whom do you trust to not vomit in your car?
  • Whom do you trust to not take you out in the woods and rob you or worse?

On a small scale, a bunch of friends can trust each other. On anything larger than that, you need both driver and passenger vetting, and insurance, then you need a third party to decide in each conflict.

You can manage all the technical details as an open source solution, but the issue of decentralized trust among strangers would require:

  • a hefty deposit for the passenger
  • a background check, insurance, maybe live tracking, for the driver
  • an arbiter, if you don’t want every conflict to end up in the courts
  • a voting system for the quality of service/client

To keep it decentralized, you could use crypto services to manage deposits, but would still need an external oracle to decide each case.
