> assuming the client has provided an informed consent

How would the client be informed on issues such as

* proper vehicle maintenance records

* prior criminal record

* history of accidents and insurance claims

* presence of proper insurance to cover client's medical costs or property loss costs in case of an accident

This is something that is required of properly licensed transportation companies (i.e. anybody working under Uber Black). Until the client has a quick and convenient way to research that information, we can only pretend the consent is informed.

If you ran a taxi service, in a competitive market, would you offer this information to your customers? You know they would want to know about it.

So you would, correct? Probably because you would then earn their business over your competitors, right?

If your answer is no, then why not? What if your competitors did, would you then?
