what could uber or lyft learn from some of your lessons?: they have been breaking rules that are not great to break when they had individuals drive their cars they were grotesquely underinsured, which i thought was egregious, but they were letting drivers driver totally inadequate insurance that protected the passengers but the car and car owner were not protected. those are risks i wouldn't take. but i do think that there are some rules that you want to get around that are dumb rules. in new york city here, where uber was prevented from coming to the market in 2012 -- why? because the licensing commission determined that there is only one way to measure distance, their own device, gps was not allowed to be used for distance, which is clearly ridiculous. the founders do need to pick and choose, but for me there are some areas where regulation makes absolute sense and they should be cognizant of that. emily: let's talk about all of these workers in the middle and are not necessarily protected, yet at the same time expectations about jobs, jo
