This chapter gives an account of the many legal issues related to the rise of sharing mobility in Europe, as part of the activities carried out within the 2018–2020 Jean Monnet Project “Regulating and Deregulating Sharing Mobility in Europe” (RIDER). In the first part, it outlines the most fundamental economic transformations that make the case for regulating sharing mobility services quite different from conventional transport. By also referring to the activities carried out during the project, it identifies those emerging legal issues stemming from the advent of sharing mobility, in order to categorize the competing claims that regulators should be considering when facing these innovative practices. With regard to this, the article outlines the main concerns related to market regulation, and it illustrates those aspects of the sharing mobility that go beyond market and efficiency concerns, to consider those features that are more significant for fostering an inclusive and sustainable society. As RIDER clearly demonstrated, sharing mobility has the potential to change the way we move in a more efficient, sustainable and inclusive way. However, a well-targeted, future-proof regulatory framework must be laid down for seizing these opportunities. |
