We would love to hear your feedback!

The gig economy landscape continues to evolve with new features and bizarre incidents shaping how drivers and customers interact in this space.

• Uber Eats introduces new heat maps showing busy areas and high-demand restaurants to help drivers maximize earnings
• Uber and Lyft launch senior-focused accounts with larger text, simplified interfaces, and caregiver options
• Gen Z increasingly skipping driver's licenses, with only 25% of 16-year-olds licensed in 2019 compared to 46% in 1983
• A DoorDash driver in Washington State returned to a customer's home with a gun, demanding a cash tip
• Viral video captures an Uber Eats delivery being made by kayak through London canals
• Waymo self-driving car attempts to drive through flooded street, demonstrating challenges for autonomous vehicles in adverse weather

Join us for our Nashville meetup on Saturday, June 28th. Time and location to be determined, but we'd love to see you there for dinner and drinks!
