birguslatroLike most places, Uber is controversial in NZ. And currently illegal according to the NZ Transport Agency, not to mention banned from airports.
I don't use taxis and so I don't know if local taxi companies already have a decent app, but if not they sure should get one fast. The current NZ government is bound to smile on Uber when they figure out how, since they'll see it as being a tourist-friendly service.

This dramatically lowers the true cost of ownership to the point where almost anyone could own a Tesla. Since most cars are only in use by their owner for 5% to 10% of the day, the fundamental economic utility of a true self-driving car is likely to be several times that of a car which is not."
