There is no monolithic thing called "regulation" that can be turned on or off. All cars and all businesses are regulated in various ways. Here in DC, cab drivers need to get their cars inspected more often than regular drivers, need to carry additional car insurance beyond the normal minimum, and need to prove they have a license in good standing. These rules seem reasonable and it seems fair to apply them to Uber.
