The minute lads started putting stickers on their cars for these apps and competing against each other for gold stars and bonuses it was game over

Correct.

[Jack Meoff]

Gold medals, priority, ambassador, donuts, the list goes on.

It's like jimmy Saville giving out fix it medals
The dark creepy freenow destroyer of our business reward s us

Guilty, as charged.

Wanking or competing for badges.?

Suffice it to say my progress towards priority is 40% by one metric and 0% by the other!

It will be called Lyft soon

I don't think it was ever a good fit for Daimler or BMW. Their brands are focused on middle class taxi users rather than working class taxi drivers. While strategically tying it in with autonomous vehicles might have been the aim, there was nothing in it for their core businesses in the short-medium term.

Not sure what sort of dent €100M (if that's what they each get i.e. on a 50/50 split) would, will or might make in progressing development of their respective EV ranges?

Free Now jumping into bed with Tesla told the full story, I guess.

Lyft and Tesla are probably a good fit going forward, to be fair.

There are plenty of second-hand Tesla's after Hertz dropped them.

How long before they have a fully autonomous model?

It mightn't be as far fetched as we like to think. I actually saw a woman driving a train last week... nothing's impossible!

We're told there were six female astronauts launched into space for 11 minutes. I think Bezos has a plan for disposing of ugly unwanted plastic.

what customers are able to avail of the taxi slave jobs.
why are they chosen to be able to dodge the €3 pickup fee.

Maybe there's a trigger point on the app?  I'm making up the number but say FN expects to do 1,000 jobs/hour.  When it falls below that, it offers anyone a discount if they turn on the app while the jobs/hour is below 1,000 and then the offer is turned off when the jobs/hour goes back over 1,000?
