Curious if they survey the drivers too, the people who are affected by this. I see no mention of this in the article. I'd think they should have a major say.
Drivers I've talked to seem supportive, at least so far. They're used to uncertainty with their income. Apparently Lyft and Uber have been squeezing driver pay very hard recently. I wouldn't be surprised if this is directly related to fed policy and VC funding dry up.
