Uber's fledgling cab-hailing service in Japan has a new competitor, and it's not by one of its usual rivals. It's called S.Ride, and it's a taxi-hailing app created by Sony in partnership with not one, but five Japanese taxi companies. Since the types of ride-hailing services you're probably used to are banned in the country, companies like Uber that want a piece of the Japanese economy -- especially since the Tokyo Olympics are coming up -- are compromising and teaming up with taxi providers.
