Uber has threatened to withdraw from Ontario city of London after it narrowly voted to become the first city in the world to require ride-sharing vehicles to have cameras installed, as taxis in the city have for 14 February. Uber claims the regulation would cost more than $1,000 per car, and added it was unnecessary, as its app identifies driver and passenger, with either able to reject the other for safety reasons. Uber recently threatened to withdraw from the Ontario city following proposed changes to fees. A final vote on the regulation takes place on a number of years.
