But the premise is that it comes from the regular operation of a regular leasing company, or the regular labor service sends drivers, otherwise it is still illegal. However, compared with the illegal use of private cars, there are actually six practical problems before Didi and Kuai.

An inescapable red line.

1. No invoice. Didi special car can't provide invoice directly. If the passenger wants an invoice, the company where Didi takes a taxi can only mail it to the customer, and can't get off the bus to make a ticket like a taxi. For ordinary users, taking a special car will face greater risks, such as going on a business trip and not being able to provide reimbursement vouchers. If something is left in the car, it will also increase the possibility of finding it.

2. User information is at risk of disclosure. Every single business of Didi special car, from the appointment, the driver's information and taxi driver's information are backed up on Didi's system-which driver of the special car picks up the passenger can be seen at a glance on Didi's internal system. The advantage of this is that you can directly provide the information of users and drivers to the other party. However, as a platform for providing information, companies such as Didi will expose all information once they encounter hacking attacks or security vulnerabilities. Previously, companies such as Didi did not separately declare these services to protect user information.

The driver can't restrain himself. Although officials such as Didi Special Car and No.1 Special Car said that they had signed a cooperation agreement with the driver of the "special car", the driver himself admitted that the "special car" was actually his own private car. A "special car" driver even admitted that he was more leisure after retirement, so he cooperated with Didi Company and turned his Audi into a "special car" after signing a cooperation agreement. Didi will take a 20% commission from the order of the car driver. If the "special car" driver and passengers really encounter contradictions, the interests of passengers cannot be guaranteed. In addition, because most car drivers use private cars, there are cool orders and other behaviors, and the binding force of Didi special car is not strong.

4. Who is responsible for the safety of the "special car"? If the car encounters an accident or safety problem, who will be responsible? Didi taxi staff said that since special cars are generally vehicles of leasing companies, they should first contact the car rental company to handle the accident. However, the other party does not think so. Many car drivers said that they only signed contracts with Didi. For possible safety accidents, the driver of the car said that he can only be responsible for the "car", and the car is generally insured and responsible for compensation; Didi is generally not responsible for safety. The expressions of both sides pushed the problem to the other side.

In addition, it is also common for private car owners to drive part-time "special cars". Special car training such as Didi is very simple, and private car owners are not as professional as taxi drivers, so the possibility of traffic accidents will definitely increase a lot.

5. Policy risks have always existed. The biggest survival crisis of Didi taxi and fast taxi application software is the heavy protection of the electric recruitment platform by local regulatory authorities. It has been reported that a city plans to connect apps such as Didi taxis to the platform of local regulatory authorities, and cash flow should also go from the platform. Such a process will completely kill the Didi taxi model with cloud computing as the core, and of course it will also destroy the business model of Didi taxi. However, this policy risk has always been accompanied by special cars, and there are no relevant laws and regulations in China, which can provide protection for drivers and users of special car services.

6. How to deal with monopoly taxi companies? The vehicles for special car service need to be in regular taxi companies, but for traditional taxi companies, the impact is considerable. Take taxi drivers in Beijing as an example. Every taxi driver spends more than 5,000 yuan a month, and the "special car" driver obviously does not have this part of the expenditure. Therefore, for regular taxi companies that provide cars, it is inevitable that they don't want to see their part of their income cancelled, and ordinary private cars can't become "special cars" because they don't have operational qualifications. This contradiction between supply and demand has become a problem that special vehicles must solve when dealing with monopoly and innovation. Previously, the Ministry of Transport promulgated the Regulations on the Management of Taxi Management Services (Order No.2004 of the Ministry of Transport). 1 6,2014), effective from 20 15,1,is the first time in the Regulations to encourage and develop taxi booking. Although this regulation makes it clear that booking taxis belongs to the category of taxis, it still lacks some regulations on operation and management, so this process has a long way to go.
