from a "taxi law" email
Uber Assessing a Potential Purchase of Free Now • Uber is in the early stages of weighing up a purchase of BMW-Daimler venture, Free Now. • Uber have expressed interest in the ride hailing app Free Now (formerly mytaxi), with a view of increasing their market share in Europe and Latin America. • BMW-Daimler could follow other carmakers in scaling back their operations in mobility services.
Our Take • It appears Uber are looking to further increase their hold of data aggregation. • This gives Uber the option to pass generated leads through other sources in the short term. • In the medium to long term, it is more likely that Uber will be looking to service the leads generated through their lead aggregators.
