Throwaway for obvious reasons.<p>I work at Uber and have worked on the London project. I've yet to see such extensive compliance requirements asked from a regulator - that, in Uber's case, is successfully met, after a LOT of investment. Examples include listing every single change weeks ahead of time before launch for approval with the regulator, having a full internal audit of any changes that impact London, and many others that required building new workflows, systems and hiring dedicated London personel. Many of these are well beyond the things the public discusses and is aware of - like the driver verification (which Uber now does realtime, through the app, with some pretty neat technology).<p>For Uber to keep operating, a larger team dedicated just for compliance is in place, and large systems for these kinds of compliant tracing have been built. I am curious to see if TFL will make these asks public and roll out the same requirements that Uber has to fulfill for their operation as mandatory for all other operators. Or if these requirements remain private, between Uber and TFL, and other competitors get a pass on them. Kapten, Bolt, Ola and FreeNow currently do not have the same asks coming from TFL and I know that several of these services do not have the guardrails in place that Uber has already.
