I always wondered about Uber. Do the drivers carry extra liability insurance? Do they clue in the insurance company that they are using the vehicle for a business? Different state rules/taxation for business use of vehicle as well. Payroll taxes or estimated tax payments?
So do they know what they’re doing in that regard, or are they just winging it?

Uber seems to help the drivers as much as they can. I’ve read that the drivers can rent cars and smartphones with Uber’s help. I would assume that Uber helps them with insurance too.
Winging it somewhat I think.
Some of your questions are answered here:

Basically, it’s my understanding that Uber drivers work as independent contractors. They set their own hours and drive their own cars.
You contact them and pay through a phone app. You know in advance what the price will be from point A to point B (no meters running) and they do not accept tips.
Win-win for everyone. It’s big in Europe, as well.
