This doesn't actually solve the problems.

Businesses have used real-time data for decades to optimize their processes, and that's all we're seeing referenced in this post. Setting aside the question of whether Uber drivers are "employees," they are certainly inside the business model, and so is the data about their performance.

But the reasons we have regulations is that business optimizations can be counter to social goals. And knowing about a bad thing doesn't allow one to go back in time and fix it.
