Sidecar did exactly that and, for what it&#x27;s worth, never got in trouble with regulators on employment issues. Some of the complaints I&#x27;ve heard about the practice were about the driver-enforced surge pricing - some drivers would price the ride at $9,999.99 on New Year&#x27;s Eve, so you always felt like if you let your attention slip a bit (perhaps the process would be sped up by alcohol consumption), you&#x27;d be gouged.
