The only thing that can happen is that they have to merge. They can share all the expensive infrastructure and no longer spend millions every month trying to gain/keep market share.

- mamon 7y agoI agree with your reasoning, but I think that's not really necessary to ride both Lyft and Uber to justify "independent contractor" status. The fact that Lyft riders use their own cars and choose their own working hours (i.e no direct supervision from Lyft side) should be enough to justify that.
