What Happened When Uber’s CEO Started Driving for Uber. As the economy reopened after pandemic lockdowns, riders returned at a faster pace than drivers. Uber at first defaulted to an old formula—financial incentives. In April 2021, Dara Khosrowshahi carved out $250 million in bonuses to entice drivers.
