But Uber’s got something that regular taxi or limo services don’t have. So do SideCar and Lyft. They have an identity system that connects a driver to a ride. They have rating systems to help determine which drivers are doing a good job, and which aren’t. They have feedback systems through which unhappy passengers can report something that went wrong. And, in the case of a crime, they have time, date, and ride logs so they can quickly identify perpetrators. Which means, if you were a criminal and somehow got through the pre-vetting process for any of these new services, you’d have to be an absolute idiot to commit a crime while on the job.

But Airbnb and other proponents of the Share Economy contend that 20th-century methods for valuing and taxing business transactions don’t make sense in an ecosystem based on resource-sharing and peer-to-peer interactions. (via Blog - The Mesh)
