Actually, vehicle insurance can (and in many countries, is about to be) checked and enforced automatically, for all vehicles. At least here the police cars are getting register-plate recognition cameras that automatically check the annual inspection and insurance status of vehicles it sees, so there will be not that many uninsured cars around, Uber or not.
- pluma 12y agoI'm not sure about the state of automatic license plate scans in Germany but it's a huge privacy issue and there was a big uproar when they were first introduced on some motorways for enforcing tolls for large transport vehicles. Germany is generally very anti-surveillance. Even so, vehicle insurance doesn't come from signing the right documents. In Germany you don't get the seal on your license plate without passing mandatory regular inspections.
