- Last week the Supreme Federal Court suspended a São Paulo state law that let municipalities authorize or prohibit moto-apps, curbing local power to ban the service.

- The firms set five commitments for their return: anonymized data sharing, driver certification, safety training, reflective gear distribution, and telemetric risk monitoring.
