Messing with a competitor's ability to get funding is not a good look for Uber, says the venture capitalist who invested in the e-hailing app Hailo. The venture capitalist behind Lyft totally agrees!

The fierce price war between Uber and Lyft hasn't just been squeezing the pockets of drivers. Hailo, an European on-demand car app backed by millions in American venture capital, says frequent price cuts made it "impossible to be profitable." After two years here, the company is pulling its service from all of North America.

Now that New York County Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit from the livery cab industry that was holding up the city's pilot program, e-hailing is no longer just the province of the early-adopting elite willing to swallow Uber's hefty fees and surging prices for a little black car convenience.
