The main problem I see with UBER is that it still is not decentralized enough. But I apply the question
"is it decentralized?" and "can it be decentralized more"
to practically everything. UBER was a good start of decentralizing Taxi monopolies... but as it attracted more centralized wealth... it had more to loose and became what it was designed to fight against.

I'm sure they will write something themselves as soon as the app is available, since they are already on steemit: @arcadecity.

I think Uber does not need to be decentralised, but the market for mobility should be decentralised. In order to achieve that, governments should be vigilant that no company is above the law. The Florida county mentioned in he article stroke the right balance and Uber threatening to leave is a sign of its arrogance. Perhaps we need 10 or 20 uber services in each major city and I hope this will be the end game, but regulations on safety and insurance for passengers are also an important requirement to which all players should abide.

The more the merrier. As far as I am concerned if the person already has what is required to legally drive, then this extra insurance is optional. It should be the choice of the rider if they want to pay the insurance premium or not, cos if the driver is forced to then so is the rider.
