After a period of consideration, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has decided that Uber is a transport service, just like any other taxi company. There is lot to say about Uber's use of untrained, non-professional drivers and other abusive practices.

    So, you're hung on that term, "novel". Tell me - if Uber's dipatch system is so novel, then how does the competition compete? Oh - maybe it's not so very novel, ehhh?

    With their own novel systems. There's a number of systems out there (including several in Europe). Lyft isn't the only competitor with some interesting new tricks.
