Or if all taxis in your city, when traveling through a particular intersection froze in place, requiring bystanders to call a response team from the taxi dispatch to come out and show the driver what to do?

In practice, if companies have these kinds of issues regularly, it'll be similar to how scooters and dock free bikes have been rolled out: they'll be allowed initially, then the city officials will kick them out if they're causing more trouble than they're worth.
