What’s in it
AI summary Drivers for ride-sharing apps like Uber or Lyft would receive more insurance coverage while they are logged into the app waiting for a passenger. Instead of lower coverage limits while waiting for a ride, their primary auto insurance would provide at least $1 million for injuries or property damage. This change applies to the time between being online and actually picking up a rider.1
