> 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.
