For those of you who have spent the last few months locked in a basement, here's a scoop: Uber is now facing global backlash both from regulators and taxi drivers. And there is no telling how many episodes there will be in this Uber Wars saga. But it sure culminated in France last week, which saw angry taxi drivers violently protesting against the US company and two Uber top executives being indicted by the French authorities. As it happens, one of them, Regional Manager for Western Europe Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, was sitting on the stage of OuiShare Fest a month ago answering our questions. The calm before the storm.
