Welcome back to The Rideshare Zone! In today’s episode 11, Shawn, The Colorado Rideshare Guy, breaks down a wild week in the industry, from Waymo’s struggles in New York and drive-thru mishaps to a major legislative push for driver pay caps.

📌 In This Episode:Waymo Woes: Is the robotaxi dream stalling?

We look at Waymo halting testing in NYC after permits expired on March 31, and a series of viral "Wrong Way Waymo" clips including a drive-thru blunder and a close call at an elementary school.

Legislative Shifts: Colorado’s 80/20 take rate bill (HB26-1273) is making waves as similar efforts reach Oregon. We dive into the Portland presentation on TNC take-rate caps and what it means for your wallet.

Safety & Security: From an Uber Airport Shuttle catching fire in New York to the importance of dashcams in insurance claims, we cover the tech and the risks.
