    Some cities see Uber vs taxis as a conflict between 2 interests. Actually between 2 generations of tech. So outcome is inevitable.

        @paulg in cities like Rome, taxi driver votes can decide who will be city mayor.

        @pbarbe Inevitable doesn't mean soon. Some cities still don't have plumbing. But they seem pretty backward on that account.

        @paulg @chronic if you think about Paris, don't forget it's less about QOS than taxis being the only ones having to pay a 200k euros license

        @paulg @gammons Attacked in Chicago, loved in LA. All, like Bitcoin and Airbnb, result of regulatory BS. Let the real free market begin.

        @paulg @Uber is ultimately centralized and saturation eventually will set in. @Getaround @lyft with distributed model look more disruptive.

        @theFifthHead @paulg How is @lyft more distributed than @uber exactly? And, as for saturation, Uber is in 1st inning.

        @maxrogo @paulg @Uber is more focused on trained drivers while @lyft it's about empowering people to become drivers. True its early days.

        @paulg Uber is symbolic of an impending revolution in the cabosphere... Have doubts about Uber being the one (ethics, models, ...)

        @paulg Because Uber isn't replacing taxis. They're simultaneously building in-city UPS & replacing car ownership, the #2 household expense.
