Uber et al. face complicated liability and insurance issues that go well beyond whether their drivers are officially employees.

California must do away with a series of arbitrary restrictions.

Three words in the insurance law may cause trouble.

The ride isn't over, either, because of two words inserted in a bill in California late in the legislative process.

We should be in no hurry to regulate Uber et al. Some decisions are necessary now, to protect consumers, but they must have rigid sunsets.
