ridiculous government policies and adaptation (ridiculously slow) that simply can not keep pace with the time, which in turn interfere with new, innovative and disruptive. A society that seems to work on these things all the time is Uber, which takes local state and municipal regulations across the country, as it tries to offer its innovative transport (and very useful) in many metropolitan areas. You may remember the big fight in DC some regulations that have hampered Uber forcing it to charge high prices. In Boston, things are even stranger. The company was actually told to cease and desist from offering their service. This happened also because of various stupid regulations on taxi and colors, but Massachusetts seems to do everything in a particularly bloody and is not an exception.
Uber The reason can no longer serve the Boston area:
Because they use the latest technology called crazy "GPS" to measure distances cars traveled the purpose of billing users
seems Standards Division of Massachusetts, and laws relating to "Weights and Measures" is so outdated that it has not been updated to recognize the GPS as sufficient "weights and measures" the system remotely. As if to prove how incredibly out of touch these people are in the official letter ordering Uber stop the service, they constantly refer to the iPhone as a "purported". They also mention global positioning

. latter are responsible for the death of innovation. Incredible.
