Uber and Lyft agree to pay drivers $32.50 per hour in Massachusetts settlement
Drivers for Uber and Lyft will earn a minimum pay standard of $32.50 per hour under a settlement announced Thursday by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell, in a deal that also includes a suite of benefits and protections. The two companies will also be required to pay a combined $175 million to the state to resolve allegations that the companies violated Massachusetts wage and hour laws, a substantial majority of which will be distributed to current and former drivers. Campbell said the settlement resolves her office’s yearslong litigation against the two companies and stops the threat of their attempt to rewrite state employment law by a proposed 2024 ballot initiative.

Cities are 'the biggest hurdle' for Tesla's robotaxi: Analyst
RBC Capital Markets Global Autos Analyst Tom Narayan has lowered his price target for Tesla (TSLA) from $293 to $227, citing concerns about the company's anticipated robotaxi project. Narayan joins the Morning Brief to share his perspective on the electric vehicle giant's outlook. Narayan's price target revision was influenced by two key factors. First, he anticipates lower pricing in the rideshare industry by the time robotaxi launches. Second, he projects higher revenue share percentages for rideshare platforms like Uber (UBER) and Lyft (LYFT), potentially diminishing robotaxi's valuation. Despite these concerns, Narayan maintains that the robotaxi project will be the "biggest contributor of value for Tesla." However, Narayan emphasizes that "the biggest hurdle" for this technology lies not in its development but in infrastructure adaptation. "The tech isn't that really far away, it's not the tech. It's really the cities need to reengineer themselves," Narayan explains to Yahoo Finance. For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Morning Brief.
