One involves delivering software to license holders.

The other has to deal with the possibility of humans using their app as an assault or kidnapping mechanism; from either end (rider attacking driver; driver kidnapping passenger, etc.)

Very different levels of responsibility. This can be seen, for example, by the size of Lyft and Uber’s security teams.

False, according to OpenSecrets, lobbying is under $2M a year.

that doesn't even cover the salary of all the obama admin people uber hired. let alone the actual lobbying going on. that's just what fall under some specific tax code.

This is based on US Senate data. Does it include state and local lobbying?
