No, if they did, they would not be able to claim that drivers are contractors. People driving on Lyft/Uber are allowed to perform trips at will, and can go on/offline as they please. Something that would cause problems is if a driver was simultaneously accepting requests on one service while performing trips on another. I've had this happen as a user, and you just see the driver going the opposite direction for ten minutes while claiming to be 'on the way'. Another problem might be cancellation rates; if a driver were online in multiple apps and got simultaneous requests, they would have to accept one and cancel the other. Acceptance rates are part of a driver's performance records on Lyft/Uber/etc. and declining lots of rides could get a driver's account deactivated.
