    Uber is in the midst of several lawsuits and has a controversial CEO leading the company. It also has to placate its own growing horde of dissatisfied drivers who complain that their revenue potential is dropping, even while Uber exaggerates how much its drivers earn. Bloomberg reports that Uber may have yet another problem on its hands with its new "upfront pricing" fees. The feature, introduced last year, allows Uber to charge some passengers more for their rides. The problem is that Uber hasn't changed the way it pays its drivers; they're still generating money the same basic way, based on time, distance and mileage.
