Yeah, it almost seems like a compromise would be an hourly line. If you work more than 30 hours, you become an employee but you lose freedom in the hours you choose since you're now in an employee relationship and below 30 hours, you're just a contractor. Some kind of part time tinkerer.

29 hours a week for Uber, 29 hours a week for Lyft, and 29 hours a week for the next ride-sharing company.

Have to be careful not to accidentally burn your hours by being logged into both apps at once.

I'm not sure that's actually better for drivers; it just makes for more paperwork and regulations to track.
