I question the value of CPUC wanting detailed historical operational data. It seems like an attempt by an outdated regulatory organization to shoehorn itself by flexing its authority, creating nothing but more bureaucratic inefficiency.
What purpose does it serve? How will it make California more safe? How are the legal costs, the administrative costs, and the overhead costs justified? I think these questions should be asked more often, instead of blindly respecting that authority is good, and regulation is a net positive.
- greenyoda 11y agoThis issue is not that CPUC wants this data, it's that state law requires operators to provide the data to CPUC. The article says: "Uber's parent company has refused to provide data on operational data that is required under the 2013 law that legalized ride-hailing firms, the California Public Utilities Commission judge said in a decision issued Wednesday afternoon."
- HappyTypist 11y agoThat is a separate issue. While an unjust law is still law, it does not mean I will look down on a service that ignores unjust laws.
