While I am all for internet enabled disruption, what about the local laws that Uber and other IP/Mobile-web services do not follow? Private sedan services are still limited by the local cities regulations, and this is not a bad thing. Localities deserve the rights to regulate themselves. Where we obviously get into mud, is where the local commercial establishment thinks it's income is a prerogative of participating. Local regulations worth adhering to, that do not break contract law: What about maximum fares? What about legislated accuracy of meter/GPS for billing? What about posted signs for reasonable health precautions, like smoking? like the local licensing board for complaints (oh wait you don't have licenses....) Not that I am establishmentarian, but it is completely unreasonable for a market disrupting services to NOT follow local regulations for said given commercial activity. That being said, one does not have to be a big business to be able to give a random a ride. However, cabs of today are shaped and outfitted with specific hardware for obvious reasons.
