&gt;You&#x27;d have to get drivers to voluntarily give a cut of their take home to pay for insurance, the car, etc. without having a way to track what they actually make.<p>This is exactly what they do now, they just don&#x27;t pay Uber, they pay those companies directly. But as a company with employees, they could negotiate a deal to get cars for cheaper, negotiate a better insurance rate, and save the driver the hassle.<p>But then we&#x27;ve come full circle, inviting regulations that drive up costs. This is an attempt to stay on the edge of that.
