The drivers are independent contractors, not employees. And in such cases there is normally no automatic reporting.
They are independent contractors in the country previously mentioned where automatic reporting does occur, so that doesn't mean there can't or shouldn't be automatic reporting. Uber exclusively handles all money, in fact, and so is more responsible than the driver for accurate reporting of money paid, taxes, etc, further suggesting they should be bearing the responsibility.
