I think mostly the opposite. I don't think the ruling holds tightly or sees broad copying.
No, Uber does not "control every aspect of the business". Specifically, it doesn't control when you work, where you work, how you work (obviously not the route taken), the conditions of the vehicle (beyond that it is legal), etc.
Completely different. Uber drivers don't even have to work...ever!
Vehicles can be 10 or 15 years old which includes some 90% of all vehicles. That's hardly "controlling condition". And, OK, lights and seat belts have to work.
There actually aren't any hard limits on how many fares you can refuse but refusing fares is like a contractor turning in lousy work.
They control the important aspects of the business. They control the pricing, they control how the drivers work, they control the condition of the vehicle (can't have an old vehicle, must be newer), and they exert control over when drivers work by punishing those that turn down too many fares.
The pricing, yes, although Lyft explicitly supports tipping and Sidecar actually enables differentiated pricing. Vehicles can be 10 or mor years old which is the vast majority of vehicles on the road (i.e., hardly "control"). And, yes, lights and seat belts must work (that's hardly control). They exert literally zero control over when you work. If you're going to open up the app and start declining fares, that's equivalent to a contractor turning in shoddy work.
