I used to work at Uber, and there would always be bad press. Negative spins on just about everything we did. It didn't deter me at the time simply because 90% was totally bogus and completely blown out of proportion. Just like this article is. I left the company because it grew too big and the culture began to suffer for it, but all these doom and gloom stories about Uber breaking the law are just silly. Existing taxi regulations are terrible, and none of it makes any sense. None of it even benefits taxi drivers. They are designed to benefit companies who hold medallions, companies who are deep in bed with local governments. Cities would never have had the incentive to get with the times if it wasn't for Uber, Period.
