Description

We would love to hear your feedback!

We share real earnings, test a new Amazon Flex site, debate DoorDash metrics, and push on safety after an Uber assault lawsuit. We also unpack Lyft’s tip info, laugh at a robot dodging a fire truck, and consider who might own future robotaxi fleets.
