  • Before the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California
    CPSD/EJH/jmc DRAFT Agenda ID # 11785 BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Order Instituting Rulemaking on Regulations Relating to Passenger Carriers, Ridesharing, and New Online- R.______________ Enabled Transportation Services ORDER INSTITUTING RULEMAKING 1. Summary We initiate this proceeding to protect public safety and encourage innovators to use technology to improve the lives of Californians. New businesses have recently begun using mobile internet, social media, and location services to offer new ways of arranging transportation of passengers over public highways for compensation. Some connect passengers via smartphones with drivers and vehicles already regulated by the Commission as passenger carriers or by cities and counties as taxis; others connect passengers via smartphones with private drivers and vehicles that are not regulated as passenger carriers or taxis. Businesses like Sidecar and Lyft have presented the Commission with a situation not encountered before: the use of mobile communications and social networks to connect individuals wishing to offer and receive low cost and convenient, sometimes shared, transportation. Uber likewise uses smartphones to present a different business model from traditional limousine service, by allowing passengers to use a GPS-enabled smartphone app to hail a limousine or other passenger carrier. The implications of these new business models on public safety are unknown. The Commission has a responsibility for determining whether and how public safety might be affected by these new businesses. The purpose of this Rulemaking is not to stifle innovation and the provision of new services that consumers want, but rather to assess public safety risks, and to ensure that the safety of the public is not compromised in the 36204017 1 R.____________ CPSD/EJH/jmc DRAFT operation of these new business models.

  • How Uber Won the Rideshare Wars and What Comes Next
    2/18/2020 How Uber Won The Rideshare Wars and What Comes Next CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE | HOW UBER WON THE RIDESHARE WARS AND WHAT COMES NEXT How Uber Won The Rideshare Wars and What Comes Next How Uber won the first phase of the rideshare war and how cabs, competitors, and car companies are battling back. BY ELYSE DUPRE — AUGUST 29, 2016 VIEW GALLERY https://www.dmnews.com/customer-experience/article/13035536/how-uber-won-the-rideshare-wars-and-what-comes-next 1/18 2/18/2020 How Uber Won The Rideshare Wars and What Comes Next View Gallery In 2011, two University of Michigan alums Adrian Fortino and Jahan Khanna partnered with venture capitalist Sunil Paul to revolutionize how people got from point A to point B quickly without having to do much. The company was Sidecar, and the idea was simple: “We're going to replace your car with your iPhone,” Fortino explains. Sidecar did not lack competition. Around this time, the taxi industry was experimenting with new ways to make it easier for individuals to summon cars. And entrepreneurs, frustrated with wait times, imagined new ways to hire someone to drive them around. Multiple companies formed to solve this need, including one that is now considered a global powerhouse: Uber. By the time Sidecar went into beta testing in February 2012, Uber, or UberCab as it was originally known when it was founded in 2009, had raised at least $37.5 million at a $330 million post-money valuation, according to VentureBeat. Lyft followed shortly after when it went into beta in mid 2012, boasting more than $7 million in funding, according to TechCrunch's figures.

    FAST FACT Firestone Racing supplied more than 1,330 tires for the Honda Indy Toronto. With an average width of 30 centimeters, those race tires would stand nearly as tall the CN Tower when stacked. Injured Canadian driver James Hinchcliffe brings smiles to the faces of fans and competitors alike as he delivers the command to start engines at Texas Motor Speedway via the massive video board known as “Big Hoss.” Chris Jones/IMS Photo WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: MONTOYA AIMS FOR FIRST TORONTO WIN: Juan Pablo Montoya (right) has controlled the Verizon IndyCar Series point standings since the start of the season and carries a 35-point advantage into the Honda Indy Toronto over teammate Will Power. But the Colombian hasn’t fared well in Toronto, never finishing in the top 15 in four previous starts. Can Montoya score his first win in Toronto this weekend? RESURGENT GANASSI TEAM SEEKS ANOTHER WIN AT TORONTO: Chip Ganassi Racing hopes to recapture its success on the streets of Toronto, where it has won six times previously. Scott Dixon, who won last weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, has a pair of Toronto wins and has seven top-five finishes in 10 previous starts.
