alt Hacker News> How does the driver get paid?
Ideally these routes wouldn’t need a driver for long. Waymo could offer this, for example. They don’t because they need not compete on price.
More practically: in many states where this has been announced, Uber drivers get a minimum wage.
In CA they do, what other states?
In response to those laws, Uber has taken even more money from drivers.
The last number I heard was that drivers only get 53% of cash per ride.
Don’t misunderstand me, Uber is a cancer that needs to die and I am about to be at the point where I make a platform that will do just that.
My point is that those laws aren’t helping. More needs to be done.
