Arvind Magesan, an economics professor at the University of Calgary, said the IPO has already been tough for drivers.
"Uber has lowered driver wages and raised prices ahead of May 9, in order to make the company more attractive to potential investors," Magesan told Al Jazeera.
"Uber (and Lyft) will use some of the proceeds from the IPO will go towards the development of autonomous vehicles. That will ultimately displace at least some of its drivers," he added.

As we have seen time and time again in the research for our map, dystopian futures are built upon the unevenly distributed dystopian regimes of the past and present, scattered through an array of production chains for modern technical devices. The vanishingly few at the top of the fractal pyramid of value extraction live in extraordinary wealth and comfort. But the majority of the pyramids are made from the dark tunnels of mines, radioactive waste lakes, discarded shipping containers, and corporate factory dormitories.
