Uber has done this dance over and over again. In the end they will convince the political subdivision regulator that they’re NOT a transportation company, because they really aren’t.
But someone is. Someone has the responsibility to the person that is paying a fare. Someone is the livery. If Uber isn’t the livery obviously the part-time driver is and should have to meet the regulatory standards.
Why is everyone missing this simple truth? Is it because Uber is a great magician who fixates the regulatory people on the media show so they can reap huge profits by allowing their independent contractor/employees to be at risk as well as the client they serve?
I would love to see the actual contract that Uber has purchased to see who is the named insured.
