I don’t agree with the deal that was struck but the article us a bit misleading. There is a company in the Philadelphia area called Emergency Vehicle Solutions Group that also used the vehicles as Uber cars. They have lights and all of the items you would expect on a police car (but the lights are yellow LEDs not blue or red).

I was picked up by one of these at a car dealership in the Philly suburbs. If you look at the photo, you can see the company name.

That's really good info, thanks for sharing. It's probable that the author had no idea (and didn't have enough journalist cred to fact check or track down something so potentially inflammatory). That's what I love about FR—someone local will know relevant and pertinent info.
