Switzerland is about to " outlaw" Über.

How are you protected in what respect, recourse etc when you used Über as it gets more popular in the US ?
Disclaimer: Have never used Über.
I'm not a fan of Uber, but the rape issue is irrelevant. I have read in several countries where taxi drivers have been involved in robbery, rapes and murder. 15 years or so ago there were several tourists robbed and murdered in Bangkok by taxi drivers. It happens.
