Our cities shouldn’t rely on Uber to devise new transport choices – Evgeny Morozov | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Cities that cosy up to Uber, however, risk becoming too dependent on its data streams. Why accept Uber’s role as a data intermediary?

Only then should the likes of Uber be allowed to step in and build a service on top of them.
