Justice Department investigating Uber “Greyball” operations in Austin.

Looks like the Feds have started contacting municipalities who may have been affected by Uber’s Greyball operation. Greyball was a system designed to thwart local regulators when Uber moved into a new city.

A city spokesman confirmed that Justice Department officials contacted staffers at Austin’s Transportation Department and Aviation Department seeking information about Uber’s operations and regulatory information while the ride-hailing behemoth provided rides in Austin.

How to become a Lyft driver: How Lyft works

Riders request a ride through the Lyft app. The closest available driver gets the call. On each ride, Lyft takes a booking fee ($1-$2 generally) + 25% of the fare. Lyft offers cash bonuses if you complete a certain number of rides in a week. These bonuses can add $100 to $350 per week to your regular earnings. In some markets, if you complete a certain number of rides, Lyft refunds part or all of their commission instead of giving a cash bonus.

How to become a Lyft driver: Differences between Uber and Lyft

In 2017, Uber finally added a tipping option. However, Lyft riders still seem to tip at a higher rate.

Overall, about two thirds of drivers prefer Lyft. In general, while not perfect, Lyft has a better reputation among drivers when it comes to resolving issues (fare disputes, cancellation fees, etc…).

However, most drivers also think the Uber driver app is superior. Also, although Lyft has had faster growth in 2017, Uber is still much busier than Lyft in certain markets. If your city has less than 1 million people, you may want to consider signing up for Uber first.

Lyft driver requirements (2017)

  1. You have to be 21 years old and have had a driver’s license for at least 1 year. (In some cities, your license may need to be from in-state.)
  2. You must be able to pass a criminal background check.
  3. You must have in state personal auto insurance (your must be listed as a driver on the policy) for the vehicle you will be using.  I highly recommend supplementing or replacing your personal insurance with rideshare insurance coverage. However, you don’t need rideshare insurance coverage to be approved for the Lyft platform.
  4. You must have a relatively clean driving record. (No DUI’s or reckless driving and very few moving violations over the last few years.)

Lyft vehicle requirements for (2017)

You do not need to own a vehicle to Drive With Lyft. However, if you do, these are the requirements.

  1. The vehicle must have a valid registration and a clean title. However, the vehicle does not have to be in your name.
  2. The vehicle must have four doors and a minimum of five seatbelts.
  3. The vehicle must be in good working order. Lyft requires vehicle inspections.
  4. The vehicle must be model year 2004 or newer. In some cities, the requirements are more strict. For Lyft Premiere, the requirements are also more strict, and vary by city.

The Lyft Application Process: Approval and Vehicle Inspection

After approval, you will need to pass a vehicle inspection to get on the road.  Lyft does the inspection during the mentor session. During a mentor session, an experienced Lyft driver inspects your vehicle, teaches you how to use the driver app, and gives you final approval to get on the road.

The Lyft Application Process: Activation

After you successfully complete your mentor session/vehicle inspection, you should be able to get on the road and start making money driving for Lyft.

Waymo Uber lawsuit update.

What’s happening in the Waymo Uber lawsuit

As you may know, Waymo, Google self-driving car unit is suing Uber for stealing their technology. Currently, the Waymo Uber lawsuit is in the discovery phase. Prior coverage from Rideshare Central since the case was filed:

Here’s what’s happened in the last few weeks. Most, but not all of it, is bad for Uber.

  • On April 14, Anthony Levandowski took the fifth over 400 times during his deposition.
  • On April 25, a federal appeals court denied Mr. Levandowski’s attempt to shield certain documents from the case.
  • On April 28, Mr. Levandowski stepped down from his position as head of autonomous vehicles at Uber, but still remains at the company.
  • On May 3, a hearing was held about Waymo’s request for a restraining order on Uber’s self-driving car project. The judge didn’t issue a ruling on the restraining order, but that should come in the next few days. CNET has coverage of the hearing here.

Waymo Uber lawsuit judge

At this point, Waymo probably needs to show the judge something more if they’re going to get an injunction. Right now, they’ve shown that Mr. Levandowski downloaded confidential files. What they haven’t shown is whether Uber saw or used those files. Uber denies they did, but they haven’t turned over Mr. Levandowski’s laptop or approximately 3,600 other files, citing attorney client privilege. The judge should issue a ruling in the next few days.
