Trying to equate Uber with "unregistered and uninsured vehicles" is absolutely ludicrous. Not even close to the same thing. You must be involved somehow with the taxi industry in NYC where a medallion to used to cost over $1M. Because of Uber the cost for a medallion to operate now is only around $160,000.

I have no involvement in the taxi/limousine industry.

I wasn't equating Uber with unregistered and uninsured vehicles. I was simply pointing out that even those who support these services based on "free market" principles recognize the need for regulation on some level.

Personally, I think Uber is eventually going to disappear. There's going to be a huge public outcry against it once you have large numbers of illegal immigrants among the drivers, undercutting American citizens who simply want to earn an honest living.
