So now they can't do surge pricing when it rains? The main reason I like Uber in NYC is because it is impossible to get a taxi when it's raining. Seems like this would ruin a big chunk of their value proposition.

It doesn't say they can't do surge pricing; they just have a cap on how high it can go during an emergency.
