For those unfamiliar, Uber is an app that basically lets you hire a taxi or limousine with an in-app reservation service. Users can see reviews of the drivers. Uber uses independent contractors to provide the rides, and riders can pay on the app and follow the driver via GPS, as well.
Existing cab companies could all provide what Uber does, but they don’t. They would rather use the government to eliminate competition through regulations.
