LMAO. Lyft removes Tesla vehicles from the platform in New York and Chicago because customers keep cancelling when they're assigned a Tesla to pick them up. lyft.com/blog/posts/upd…

Scoop: An NLRB regional director today formally certified a union at a Philly Whole Foods, a first for Amazon’s grocer. The NLRB RD said Whole Foods’ arguments for overturning the election result “are without merit.” Legal dispute could continue for years bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Shocking treatment of black cab drivers by Free Now. After 10 years of brutal exploitation of minicab drivers , the apps are now finally dismantling the once proud London black cab trade & its cherished tariff system. Free Now should be renamed Everyone's-An-Uber-Driver Now.

The more I think about it the more horrified I am. Free Now heavily discount the tariff yet London taxi drivers must do the work or face license revocation from TfL because legally they are compellable. Even Uber minicab drivers have a theoretical right to refuse poor paying work

In intervening to separately negotiate fares other than the published fare, Free Now is independently making automated decisions to accept bookings and assign them to taxi drivers but without a license to do so which is a criminal offence. Why has TfL allowed this to happen?

Ranking is a time honoured trade right for London's black cab drivers. But FreeNow, with its so-called "Black Cab Express" service, is undermining Paddington station's rank by offering higher fares for taxi drivers willing to cut line & go ahead of fellow workers waiting on rank.

Instead of consulting their workforce about changes in work practices and product, Uber senior managers are consulting ChatGPT instead! 🤦‍♂️ "Kansal gave a recent example.... He asked ChatGPT's deep research mode about what drivers may think of the add-on." businessinsider.com/how-uber-produ…

Dara made a fatal error in selling off Uber's AV division in 2020 leaving Uber vulnerable to being eclipsed by Waymo,Tesla, Zoox, WeRide etc. As the autonomous era dawns Dara must move on so Uber can develop a credible AV strategy investors can believe in ft.com/content/753d15…
