Taxi drivers in France went on strike Thursday, smashing car windows, setting tires on fire and blocking traffic to express their displeasure with American ride-hailing service Uber. Despite an October law forbidding the company's low-cost UberPop service, its drivers continue to provide rides in France. The taxi drivers say Uber is unfairly undercutting them, while the company says it is just a symptom of a badly organized market. But nothing is black and white.
