Maybe they are therefore taking this to markets where the taxi business is more open to competition and not so tightly regulated. I see great opportunities here as they are not limited to traditional taxi services. Once you have the infrastructure in place, you can for example start doing something that is between traditional taxi and tradinaional public transportation (in Finland there are trials running for this kind of system[1]). And once you have self driving cars, it would be interesting to evolve into car sharing scheme style of things [2], where can summon a car to your door with smart phone app. [1] https://kutsuplus.fi/tour https://kutsuplus.fi/tour [2] http://www.citycarclub.co.uk/ http://www.citycarclub.co.uk/
