Abstract

“Ofis ihtiyacı olmadan kendi işinin patronu ol, istediğin zaman güvenli
sürüş yap, sen müşteriyi değil müşteri seni bulsun, iyi para kazan” sloganı
ile özetlenebilecek olan, bilim ve teknoloji çağının en son gözde keşfi
ve dahi yatırımı “Uber”, bütün dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemizde de hizmet
vermeye başlamış olup, ilk olarak “UberBLACK” ve “UberBOAT” uygulama
çeşidi ile İstanbul, Bodrum ve Çeşme’de faaliyetine başlamıştır. Bu
uygulama, klasik taksiciliğin çok kısa zamanda hibrit taksiciliğe evirilmesini
zorunlu hale getireceği gibi, hukuki altyapı açısından ülkemizi de hazırlıksız
bir şekilde yakalamıştır. Uygulamanın yaygınlaştırıldığı ülkeler,
başta dünyanın gelişmiş ülkeleri olmak üzere, bu duruma ani tepkiler vererek
orantısız yasaklar ve yaklaşımlar ortaya koymuşlardır. Bu gelişmelerin,
öncelikle ticari hayatı etkileyeceği, kişisel verilerin korunmasında bir
kısım sorunların yaşanacağı, taksicilik ve yolcu taşımacılığı konusunda
yetki verilmesi, izinlerin düzenlenmesi, standartların belirlenmesi, harç
ve vergi tahsili hususunda yetki sahibi olan otoritelerin faaliyet alanlarına
müdahale edeceği, mevcut yasalar kapsamında sınırları belirlenen araç
işleteni ile taksi sürücülerinin hukuki ve cezai sorumlulukları konusunda
karmaşanın meydana geleceği, bu sorunların çözümü için uluslararası
yargılama yetkisinin devreye girmesi gerektiği tartışmasız bir gerçektir.
Bu ani gelişmeler karşısında makul, mantıklı ve katma değerli çözüm ise;
ilgili teknolojik gelişmeler iyi bir şekilde izlenip analiz edilerek, ilgili şirketlerle
işbirliği içinde zaman kaybetmeksizin, mevzuat altyapısı da hazırlanarak,
uygulamalar ihtiyaçlara göre uyumlaştırılıp dönüştürülmeli,
kullanılmalı ve hayatı kolaylaştıracak bir yaklaşım tarzı sergilenmelidir.
