Its the same, except not.
When your pal wraps the car around a light pole and paralyses you, you can rely on his insurance being valid and whatever limits & protections are included in that.
When Uber man does the same, all that goes out the window and you'll likely end up relying on a mishmash of your own policies and government coverage for uninsured. Could probably also sue him and collect a couple cents towards your live-in nanny costs.
The government does not have specific commercial insurance requirements for livery drivers for their own amusement. This is not a case of BIG TAXI and BIG INSURANCE being in cahoots to force Uber off the road so they can all get rich along with the municipality and provincial elected officials.
