Would this open the door to preventing Uber drivers from operating multiple services at once? I've seen plenty of drivers with multiple phones up running both apps.
- Daishiman 11y agoI'm guessing the future of this is that there will be a certain standard to the amount and conditions of participation the driver will have before they're considered employees. Similar things happen for freelancer. You're a freelancer so long as you meet certain criteria for actually being independent and not living off a single client. As soon as your livelihood depends on a single client who's consuming an inordinate amount of time, no matter what the contract says you can successfully sue for benefits and the law will be on your side.

- toomuchtodo 11y agoHow would you prevent this if they use multiple phones? You couldn't.
- adventured 11y agoIf you make Uber drivers employees, you can prevent it. In the same way and for the same reason Google can prevent an employee from working for both Apple and Google at the same time (by firing them).
- toomuchtodo 11y agoYou can't govern what you can't detect.
- shalmanese 11y agoYou can mandate large contiguous sections of time on your service and punish drivers who reject rides during that time. A driver who is driving a passenger for Lyft obviously can't pick up a passenger for Uber.
