Uber reported surging revenue during the first quarter as the ride-hailing company said it’s recovering from its coronavirus lows and wouldn’t have to put up “significant” investments to keep drivers on the platform. CNBC’s Deirdre Bosa reported on Uber and Lyft's latest first-quarter earnings report. John Zimmer, president and co-founder of Lyft, also discussed the ride-hailing company’s latest quarterly earnings report and broke down how high gas prices are impacting the company and high-cost driver incentives.
