Uber scrambles to head off Brazil bill regulating ride software [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Hundreds of drivers for the internet based ride-hailing firm Uber drove through Brazil's largest cities on Monday to protest legislation that would turn them into regular taxi drivers subject to the same local licensing and taxation rules. The chief executive of Uber Technologies Inc, Dara Khosrowshahi, arrived in Brazil to lobby against the bill that is due to be voted on by the Senate on Tuesday and which threatens the company's business in a fast-growing foreign market. Brazil is Uber's third-largest market, with 17 million users, and the city of Sao Paulo sees more trips on the ride-hailing service than any other city in the world, ahead of New York and Mexico City, according to the company.
