"It's a different situation though."

No, it isn't. There isn't anything special or unique about Uber that says they should be exempt from existing law.

"Riders set the rates with demand based pricing"

No, they really don't. I have no ability as a user to state how much I'm willing to pay for a trip.

Wouldn't that be a neat app option - put in your destination & fare (i.e. $11) and wait for a driver to agree to it.
