Why did Uber and Lyft leave one of the fastest-growing cities in America? Lawyers, reporters, Austin city council members, and the drivers themselves weigh in on the core issues of regulating the sharing economy and what it means for the future of ridesharing in Austin, TX.

"Regulating Rideshare" explores these issues and more in the first of our three documentary shorts about legal issues in the sharing economy.
