At RideFair Toronto, we just released a report on #Uber and other ridehail / rideshare platforms operating in the city.
Increased levels of deadheading make for even lower driver pay and more downtown congestion.

I went undercover as an Uber Eats courier and made just $1.74 per hour online. Here’s what I learned about the troubling cost of convenience
For six weeks, I hustled for orders and made a shockingly low wage. Uber says my experience was 'atypical' — but workers I spoke to say differently.

Waymo deadheading at 46% of miles (so much higher percent of time) exceeds the 50% time deadheading rate of Uber in Toronto (see ridefair.ca/how-low-can-...).
Both make congestion worse, but Uber drivers do leave when they don't make money, so Waymo road use will be even more profligate.
