Lurie announced a special deal with Waymo, which then immediately opened the door to commercial Uber and Lyft, vehicles. Uber charged through that door and demanded they get access too. Things now seem "paused," but it's hard to know, since nothing is transparent.

I don't know how Lurie puts the genie back in the bottle, except by announcing he has misinterpreted the legislation.

Not much news about it recently, but this story captures the dynamic. Would have been great if they had talked to anyone during decision making, as the first thing advocates would have mentioned was Uber's private car fleet (Uber Black).
