Uber faces criminal probe over software used to evade authorities
Last weekend, I visited Hamburg with my wife. I was surprised when I was told that I couldn&#x27;t catch an Uber. However, on each German taxi (you know, the beige ones) there was a sticker prompting me to download the &quot;EUTaxi&quot; (or similarly named) app, which I did.<p>Brilliant. I was able to summon a car within minutes, and this app also allows for paying via the app.<p>Uber&#x27;s biggest threat is, IMO, the creation of a well-working &quot;push to ride &amp; pay&quot; taxi app by other countries that are as similarly well organised as Germany.<p>For me as a consumer, I could care less if I download Uber or EUTaxi. As long as I get my ride on time, and with a professionally licensed driver.
