Harry here. Is this the end of Uber as we know it? Recent lawsuits may say yes, but then again, Uber has proved us wrong in the past. Uber is a scrappy company, and in this week’s round up, senior RSG contributor John Ince takes a look at a number of Uber issues – and potential ways for it to redeem itself.

It isn’t until they get in an accident and it’s too late that they realize the coverage provided by these companies is often not enough.

When that business is on wheels, the risks that must be managed are very large indeed.
