What autonomy would Uber need to provide?
Part B is similarly challenging, because it requires that the contractor & the work they are doing not be in the same line of business as hiring entity

I have a friend that drives approximately 8 hours pw for Uber.
How are drivers not choosing their own hours, exactly? That seems to be exactly what they are doing.
And when I say "Uber", I actually mean Uber/Lyft. And obviously in some parts of the US there are other apps and drivers use those too.
I also don't know any employee who gets paid money by the customer to do a job, of which a small portion is taken by the company. For every "employee" I know, it works in exactly the opposite way.
Independence goes much further - can the driver assign someone else to do the job?
As with any other marketplace/platform: Amazon, Patreon, App Stores, Twitch, Steam, etc.
Stripe collects payments for me when I sell my app. The money does not drop directly into my bank account.
And I don't think Uber has any problem with drivers hiring other people to drive their car and do Uber for them. The people that take an issue with that are the municipalities that want to require background checks, etc. for drivers.
