pg has been consistent with this viewpoint, expressing the same sentiment when Austin voters rejected a proposition that would have done away with driver fingerprinting requirements for Uber and Lyft: https://twitter.com/paulg/status/731871426056065028 https://twitter.com/paulg/status/731871426056065028 If nothing else, the Austin case in particular is very interesting to me in that, with Uber and Lyft gone, there have been a flurry of startups and a non-profit in the rideshare space: Fare, Fasten, GetMe, Wingz, and the non-profit RideAustin. While none of them (yet) provide the hail times and low prices of Uber or Lyft, at the very least it is an interesting experiment in some different business models.
