If you want free market to find the price. Why not force Uber and Lyft to accept pricing from their drivers. Absolutely any pricing and any rules. I think that would be reasonable.

Thats what sidecar did, and the driver market rejected it because it was an awful and unsafe experience. Imagine trying to set rates while you're driving around!

Uber shows how much they will pay, the driver doesn't have to accept the trip. If drivers don't accept Uber will have to adjust the price.
