http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/12/uberiphone.jpg Despite copious quantities of bickering between the New York City taxi commission and Uber (among others), it looks as if said entity is going to give this whole “21st century” thing a whirl. Skift is reporting that the commission voted just moments ago to allow a one-year trial of taxi-hailing apps, with seven members voting “yes” and two abstaining. It’s a huge, huge victory for apps like Lyft, Hailo and Uber, and it could very well set the stage for the first major leap in how the cab-hailing process works in a very long while. We’ll be updating this story as it develops.
