Uber driver with cerebral palsy takes passengers on inspirational ride

Posted

SAN DIEGO -- Scott Anderson is not what most people expect when they climb into the backseat of a rideshare vehicle.

Anderson was born with cerebral palsy.

As KSWB reports, he's a motivational speaker and uses his car as a pulpit for encouragement.

His car features a special steering knob to help him navigate. Other than that, it's exactly like a regular vehicle.

As far as the safety aspect, Anderson says he has a clean record and has passed all the necessary driving tests. Uber said it's supportive and has even partnered with Enabled Employment to help people with disabilities and especially deaf drivers find work.
