Ride-sharing technology disrupted New York City’s iconic taxi and limousine industry. At the same time, it destroyed the livelihoods of thousands of longtime drivers who couldn’t or didn’t want to evolve. In The Driver’s Seat, we profile the life and times of driver and writer Douglas Schifter, who martyred himself in 2018 to raise awareness about the decline of his industry.
