A federal judge has blocked New York City’s new law requiring Uber and Lyft to give drivers 14 days’ notice before deactivating them — unless for serious misconduct — calling it too restrictive and potentially dangerous. The ruling, by Judge Gregory Woods, argues the law undermines ride-share companies’ ability to maintain safety and manage their platforms, and only benefits a small number of drivers. Uber and Lyft welcomed the decision, warning the law could force unsafe drivers back on the road and harm their reputation. The city hasn’t responded yet, but this was a landmark law — even overriding a former mayor’s veto — and the legal battle is far from over.
