Uber under pressure from regulators, taxes and robotaxi rivals
Original: uber
Uber is facing scrutiny on several fronts at once. The US FTC has demanded the company and others including Walmart and Delta hand over data on personalized pricing, amid concerns over so-called surveillance pricing. In the UK, the Chancellor has launched a new £425 million levy dubbed the Uber tax. Meanwhile, investors are weighing how new rules and robotaxi competition, particularly from Waymo, have changed the company's outlook, and Nigeria's Moove has exited the market shortly after Uber did.
Why now: Multiple significant regulatory, tax and competitive developments involving Uber have broken in quick succession.
