Tough to call anything done as voluntary with a gun held up to the head. Their entire business model (which has not been super profitable to say the least) was just made illegal in California.
Life goes on though, probably the Taxi industry is very pleased, many of the full-time drivers will go on to work as Taxi drivers, licensed with hours and all. And I'll just lower my expectations for getting a taxi dispatched within 30 mins outside of the main city.

- stefan_ 6y agoWhat you call a gun to their head has been there for a year now! The only thing that actually ended was their hopeless legal effort. So no, it was made illegal a year ago. It was Uber and Lyfts decision to do nothing to prepare.
