Uber uses data-mining to identify and block riders who may be cops, investigators or regulators

No but even in our highly regulated state, taxi drivers are a problem for me as a bike commuter. They see bikes as competition, and take steps against them. At the same time I know of one person new to the country who wants to drive for Uber because he can’t get another job. Its the sort of environment where frustration will build up fast because they are losing money on an expensive car and not making it up on income.

I know that taxis (plus uber, etc) are on the way out, like newspaper deliveries, and cheaper, less capable people will take over the driving as they start to compete head to head with robots.
