Breathless unthinking hype reminiscent of Future Shock. But there are real issues here. The purveyors of new technology arrogantly assume that they are not subject to existing laws. Uber claimed to be an app, not a taxi service. Likewise, AirBnB disclaims being in the hotel business. Autonomous vehicle makers assert that all collisions will be the fault of human drivers not their infallible technology. 
People and governments can't "get ahead of the disruption curve" in a reactive way. What we must ensure through our laws are our human rights -- legal, political, social, economic -- and their primacy over corporate rights, new technologies notwithstanding. Wringing this from corporate-controlled governments is the great challenge ahead. The real populists have not yet emerged.
