I doubt the automotive pun was intended, but if it was, it's in poor taste, and if it wasn't, it's a nasty oversight - considering the last time people read a headline about an "Uber impact," it was because a little girl was killed. It's extremely important to consider such things in this kind of language.
Me too. In fact, there was an accident last night in my neighborhood involving a black car and a drunk driver and I thought it was about that, despite Uber (kindly) chiming in on a local blog to say it wasn't one of their drivers. Thought this was some kind of horrible reversal.

When I first read the headline I thought it was a press release about an accident.
