I suspect the economics for this only work because all drivers are contractors. The founder spent a lot of time highlighting the factors that support the contractor story but with recent changes in specifically California I'd be wary; it's becoming harder to justify the contractor narrative when the market maker controls the entire supply side, ie if they set the prices and the wages ahead of time (and it sounds like they do) it starts to look an awful lot like regular part time shift work.

I'm not sure I see the justification problem here. It's not harder to justify contractors, the reasons for using them are still the same, California simply decided it knew better than the contractors and changed the law to force them to become proper employees. The problem is wholly political and not a case where it makes sense to say one side is more justified than the other.
