As you noted, Taiwan banned it. HK has a similar policy too. In the U.S. I am not aware of any bans on Uber driving program yet. That's a huge difference.

- yeukhon 10y agoThat's not banning Uber from operating. Uber and Lfyt pulled out because they didn't agree with fingerprint check, so they decided to pressure the Austin government by halting the operation there. But I say yes this does give other local/native taxi apps a chance since they can now compete without Uber and Lyft, to be fair in this debate.
