email article Emergency department visits for motor vehicle-related trauma and convictions for driving under the influence in Houston declined significantly after the ridesharing service Uber debuted there, researchers found. Compared with the 2007 calendar year, trauma center activations for vehicle accidents in the 12 months ending in November 2019 were 20.1% lower (1,527 vs 1,911), according to Christopher R. Conner, MD, PhD, of the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, and colleagues. For the entire two periods before and after Uber s December 2013 rollout, the rates of motor vehicle trauma visits during peak hours fell 23.8% (0.21 vs 0.26 per hour), the researchers reported in JAMA Surgery. Injuries became less severe as well, though mortality rates did not change.
