It really looks like Uber and Lyft might suspend operations in California

Are Uber and Lyft just bluffing? Both ride-hailing services threatened to temporarily shut down their operations in California after a judge declined to carve out an exemption for them from AB5, the new state law that would require the companies to classify drivers as employees. The court injunction gave Uber and Lyft 10 days from the Aug. 10 ruling to change the independent-contractor status of their drivers and provide them benefits such as health insurance and minimum wage.
