True ride-sharing vs. fake ride-sharing
(1) If a trip is incidental, meaning that the driver was already going from point A to point B. (2) If the driver isn’t making a wage or driving to make a profit (though it’s okay to be reimbursed, and collect money for gas and wear-and-tear on the car). (3) If specialized insurance isn’t required. These three factors make up the definition of “true ride-sharing” and differentiate between Google-Waze and Uber-Lyft-etc. Aka, it’s this sort of legalese that Google is dealing with to ensure its ride-sharing pilot through Waze isn’t regulated like Uber and Lyft as it makes plans to expand the program.
