Uber and other mobile-dispatched-and-paid services typically feature identity/GPS tracking of each driver and passenger, by device and photo. I predict that driver-on-passenger crime will be less frequent, and easier to prosecute, in such a system, compared to the traditional-licensed taxis sector. And also: compared to 'gypsy' cabs that successfully pretend to be licensed cabs, because of supply and authentication problems inherent to the traditional system (but obsoleted by Uber-like services). So if/when an unfortunate event occurs, the right response will likely be: his new system is already doing better than the traditionally-regulated category, and so no special regulations are needed – just vigorous investigation and prosecution of individual crimes.
