Please have Uber hand the presentation clicker directly to Taiwan Taxi.
Please begin directly.
uberX Opinion Collection: Taiwan Taxi Response
I think vTaiwan is a multi-stakeholder dialogue platform.
Next, we open the floor for open discussion. But before opening for free speeches, there is actually a fourth stakeholder, our friend from the general association—please speak first.
I see a sense of trying to win each other over, or "you do it, we do it too," as well as other voices of dialogue.
I feel it's not really a dispute; I am very glad to hear many overlapping arguments.
Next we still have nearly an hour. We open it up to everyone present—whoever wants to speak, please raise your hand.
Crowdfunding was discussed on vTaiwan previously.
Issues on vTaiwan require that most stakeholders are online.
So "marijuana legalization" will definitely not be a topic for vTaiwan 2.0, 3.0, or 4.0. (laughter)
...Of course, multi-level marketing is not a topic for vTaiwan discussion either. XD
Just heard a new concept, like a "sharing economy demonstration zone."
Next, we invite the MOTC to respond to questions.
So revising the "Regulations Governing the Approval and Operations of Taxi Passenger Services" was not holding discussions or investigations with Uber, but asking about an "actual current legal status," and defining it using that method?
Meaning it was more of a "determination" rather than an "investigation"?
Okay. Earlier there was another question, which is what insurance company issued the so-called "NT$20 million insurance" and how claims are paid, etc. Please have Uber answer.
How many such claims have occurred so far?
Today is not a debate, so they have no obligation to answer your question immediately...
...and we also don't want personal attacks to occur, whether passive or...
In short, I hope both sides won't take it personally right away.
I know the two of you have been firing at each other online over this matter for a very long time.
In person, however, we still hope to let the two who raised their hands earlier speak first.
We invite Taiwan Taxi to respond quickly.
Thank you Professor Chen for your insightful views. Currently we are still in stage zero opinion collection.
If we reach stage one actual discussion, "impact on the market" will be a very important consideration.
Let me summarize first. Your view is that guiding them to obtain professional driving licenses, obtain police clearance certificates, or even placing them in the vehicle—you think these are not such big problems. The bigger issue is the vehicle itself?
Although the venue has no time limit, in the end we still hope to have a summary.
Let's first invite friends on this side who raised hands for a final round of speeches, and finally ask Minister Tsai to summarize.
You mean if double charging is allowed, double the service quality will be provided?
Very glad to share thoughts with everyone today.
If there is an opportunity in the future, online discussion will continue for at least 30 days, and working group meetings will be held to stay concerned with this matter.
Also thanks to nearly 200 friends participating online in the live broadcast at this late hour.
