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.
It's correct that there could be, and there really should be.
However, I don't believe CRA currently has any system capable of accepting such data. If CRA did implement such a system, I do think it's likely that Uber would be willing to provide the data, based on the Estonian precedent.
