Step out in the Tenderloin district in San Fran, tap your phone and minutes later an Uber arrives and you're in plush seats on your merry way to Nob Hill. Barely months since its inception, this American-born company had already changed the way we move. Now try doing the same in central Milan: eventually an Uber will show up, the driver will look around in a shifty fashion, and then insist you sit up front. It's technically illegal to take Uber in a number of European countries. Yet in Brussels an Uber from the airport to the European Parliament costs 20 euros and a cab 65 euros.
