It's relevant. Uber are creating a network of unregulated cabs, and people have been voicing concerns over the consequences of that. It can happen with a regulated cab too, but it's probably a little more sensitive given that there are no regulations at all.
These concerns are not mine, and I'm not taking a position for or against Uber, I'm just pointing this out.

They still employ specially licensed driver just like cab companies. The regulations they don't have to deal with are things like availability and rate laws iirc.
