What AVs Are Really Doing to Gig Work: Inside the Gridwise Data - Ep 8
Autonomous vehicles are scaling fast, but what does that mean for the people behind the wheel today? And how fast will AVs impact the market anyway? In this special episode, Matt and Alex are joined by Ryan Green, CEO of Gridwise, whose company tracks over a million gig workers and more than $10 billion in earnings across the rideshare and delivery economy. Drawing from Gridwise’s latest AV Impact Report, Ryan breaks down what the real data shows about utilization, trips per hour, take-home pay, and how AV markets like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Phoenix are diverging. They explore whether AVs are truly replacing drivers or simply adding pressure to an already oversupplied market. Are workers earning less per hour? Are they working more to compensate? And is the total rideshare “pie” actually getting bigger? The data is still early — and noisy — but the signals are starting to form.
