The robotaxi service now has about 700 autonomous vehicles on the road across its markets.

Read previewPeople hate surge pricing — and Lyft says it hears them. The feature would compete with Uber by giving customers some certainty ahead of time as to how much they'll pay for a ride; Risher said surge pricing is "probably rideshare's most hated feature." Economists have told Business Insider that as algorithms get better and more retails adopt easily-changed digital price tags, customers could start seeing it in even more places. Elizabeth Warren and Bob Casey also launched an investigation into Kroger's price tags over their potential to surge prices. But when looking at technological innovations at other big companies to make it easier to change prices, stable pricing likely won't come anytime soon.

▼ + stars: | 2024-07-25 | by ( ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

Reuters —California’s top state court on Thursday upheld a measure approved by voters allowing app-based services such as Uber and Lyft to consider drivers in the most populous U.S. state as independent contractors rather than as employees entitled to greater benefits. Whether gig workers should be treated as employees or contractors is a crucial issue for the ride-service industry. California is just one front in a nationwide legal battle over the classification of gig drivers and other contract workers. In June, Uber and Lyft agreed to adopt a $32.50 hourly minimum wage for drivers in Massachusetts and pay $175 million to settle a lawsuit by the state claiming they improperly treated drivers as independent contractors. A proposal that would allow app-based drivers to unionize will go before voters in the state in November.
