- Annual inspections, the same as cabs - again can be uploaded to uber and/or the city as required
- Police Information Check annually - again, uploaded to the uber app and/or city as needed.
Realistically, the only stumbling block is uber needs to work with underwriters to create a "tweener" policy to cover these scenarios that does not throw the economics of driving uber casually / semi-professionally out the window.
Once that happens, I see no reason why the city wouldn't allow uber.... And it all seems pretty easily accomplished.

I'm sure that something like that is exactly what we'll see.
One thing I hope the city does is make the rules all-encompassing and generic for any "ride hailing" style app and not tied directly to Uber.
The rules should specify what is required of a driver using the service and what is required of the app provider. So long as Uber or any other app meets those requirements, they should be able to deliver their service.
