If you take money to take some one in a vehicle from point a to point b you are a cab driver. It's really simple. Why do people think it should be any different if you use an app?
So if I take gas money from a friend on a trip am I a chauffeur? Do I need insurance? I bet that there have been instances of people being sued for the if your in an accident.
So below are all the rules for flying an RC plane. Why don't we simply apply the rules to drones? As a matter of fact, you have to explain to me why the don't automatically apply anyway?
Fly below 400 feet and remain clear of surrounding obstacles Keep the aircraft within visual line of sight at all times Remain well clear of and do not interfere with manned aircraft operations Don't fly within 5 miles of an airport unless you contact the airport and control tower before flying Don't fly near people or stadiums Don't fly an aircraft that weighs more than 55 lbs Don't be careless or reckless with your unmanned aircraft â" you could be fined for endangering people or other aircraft

My dad drove a cad for years and some had meters some dod not. Most of the cab companies used zones for charges.
They are always "hailable" too. I am not seeing the difference. Uber is a hack....
No pun intended.

Then you share a cab with the company too. The point is you are just putting person A out of business to employ person B.

From what I recall in my RC Club days, that if you follow those guidelines you are not going to get prosecuted.
I would have to look it up later, but I am pretty sure you can get prosecuted by the FAA
The FAAs own rules also prohibit flying RC Aircraft in close proximity to buildings.
Prosecute BOTH parties and its a just situation.

I am sorry I had to ask...
I knew some one was going to say that!
How can information be made publicly available and illegal to posses? Can you give me an example or an analogy? This sounds like a catch 22 to me...
Limp Competition.
