> It requires passengers to run a nonfree program (an app). As always, a nonfree program tramples its users' freedom. > Uber plans to do away with human cab drivers. > It would be easy for a non-plutocratic government to prohibit this, and that's what every country ought to do, unless/until every person gets an adequate basic income so people don't need to be employed. Which is a bigger case of "trampling freedom": voluntarily using someone's closed-source program, or having the government tell me they'll put me in jail if I offer to sell someone a ride in my self-driving car?
