Uber, Lyft drivers drop price-fixing lawsuit in California

A group of Uber and Lyft drivers have dropped a class-action lawsuit in California that accused the ride-hailing companies of unfairly stopping them from setting their own fares as independent contractors.

The drivers in a filing on Wednesday said they had dismissed their case, which hit a major setback last year when a San Francisco Superior Court judge ruled that the plaintiffs would be required to arbitrate their claims individually.
