Given that Uber routinely tracked politicians and journos and shared it around the company, and had stood up toolsets to track and evade police so as to facilitate drivers dodging law enforcement, they always were organised crime.

At this point, I've seen a rideshare stop in the center of an intersection with traffic to let people out, so maybe the cities were right in the end...
