Uber Plays Stupid in Tampa Bay

Uber Plays Stupid in Tampa court hearing. "we don't use taxi meters, we just use "stupid" phones, which computes distance, time and price somewhere on servers in California and that's how drivers get paid and customers get charged" ..................IS THIS FOR REAL?  ..........DO UBER THINK, THAT PEOPLE IN FLORIDA ARE STUPID?

"...............Much of Monday's hearing centered around determining if a smartphone app can be considered a meter. If so, regulators argued Uber's drivers are operating in the same fashion as cab drivers, and thus subject to the same rules. But Uber representative Matthew Gore, general manager in Florida, said the rate is calculated by an algorithm on the their servers in California, not in the app.
"The vehicles are not taxicabs, and there is no meter installed," Gore said after Monday's hearing. "It's a new category of service that the regulators never wrote into their laws."............"

  2. "Uber Plays Stupid in Tampa Bay court hearing. "we don't use taxi meters, we just use "stupid" phones, which compute distance, time and price somewhere on servers in California and that's how drivers get paid and customers get charged" ......"

    that's what Uber try to do allover the world, they try to twist the laws, play stupid, bribe officials and polticians, brainwash the drivers and all kind of other dirty tricks, just to get in to the market, any market
    In some places they succeed, in other places they don't
    Kalanick has a lot of cash on hand to fight with the system, +1 billion dollars and he doesn't care
