Is version 1.0 of a product technically considered patched? I'm assuming, categorically, no..
That said, despite where we're talking about it, Uber is not primarily in the tech industry - they don't sell you software, they sell you rides - so they are a taxi business, foremost. The taxi business (artificially chauffeured, or, not,) is actually a perfect example of an industry where regulation makes it palatable at all, compared to what v1 taxi cabs were like...
There is also the issue of whether or not we even have the means to regulate (or even come up with a formalization for the axiomatic ethical examination of near-black-box/difficultly analyzable tech).
That's a separate concern from whether or not the consumer will be liable for mistakes made by the provider until regulation is in place.
imo, innovation is pretty unimportant compared to regulation, and far less valuable, too..
