![]() The Tribunal, however, rejected these arguments, stating that: In response Uber immediately filed a request to suspend the Minister’s order, alleging, inter alia, that UberPop-users would fall under the scope of the so-called “carpool”-exemption, that the Passenger Transport Act would be obsolete and outdated, and that Uber would offer plenty of safeguards to warrant the quality of the services provided. According to the Minister, UberPop would be in violation of the Dutch Passenger Transport Act, which forbids providing taxi services without a taxi permit (to be granted by the Minister). On November 11, 2014, the Dutch Minister of Infrastructure and Environment imposed a cease and desist order on Uber’s “UberPop”-service (which enables private car owners to connect with customers and provide taxi services) under penalty of € 10,000 per violation.

Through its partnership with Motional, Uber is attempting to shift its business model away from being solely reliant on its vast fleet of independently contracted drivers, a business model that has posed legal issues for the company in recent years. An Uber test driver behind the wheel, who was supposed to monitor the vehicle and intervene if needed, was watching a television show on her phone. The ridehailing company suffered another blow to its self-driving program a month later when one of its test vehicles in Tempe, Arizona, struck and killed a pedestrian. Waymo, Google’s self-driving company, sued Uber in February 2017 alleging trade secret and intellectual property theft, with Waymo eventually receiving about $245 million in Uber stock as part of settlement and Uber agreeing not to use proprietary information from Waymo. The sale came after a a five-year run of developing self-driving vehicles that was marred by litigation and a fatal crash. Uber and Motional first announced their non-exclusive 10-year agreement in October, two years after the ride-hailing company sold off its own self-driving unit, Advanced Technologies Group, to San Francisco-based startup Aurora. Motional has been offering robotaxi services in Las Vegas since 2018 through Uber rival Lyft, though rides before 2020 were offered under parent-company Aptiv. ride-hailing firm Uber Technologies Inc (UBER.N) and driverless tech-maker Motional said on Wednesday they launched their public robotaxi service in Las Vegas.
