Here we go with Big Brother.

Uber sank their money into this but they cannot add a tipping feature into the app!

Things like acceleration, braking and speed will be tracked. So if a pax is in a hurry you can say that Uber will not let you drive fast and then receive a driver rating below 4 stars.....

Story appeared in WSJ today

As the MA Legislature works out their difference on a ride-share regulation bill, and there will be a tax per ride for "infrastructure", one concern I have is will the list of ride-share drivers be known by the state agency setup to regulate ride-share and further if so will it be shared with insurance companies?

If it is shared with insurance companies we are all exposed and will have to pay for commercial insurance or risk losing our current insurance. This could be a big gift to insurance companies. Thoughts?

Good point scamp. since we are independent contractors, can they track driving behavior without offering something in return? The latest download of the Uber partner app included the driver tracking.
