One less piece of ammunition for the taxi companies. I'd expect that if this proves to be popular, other insurers will quickly follow suit.

It's worth noting, "The coverage will be available for drivers that spend up to 20 hours a week participating in ride-sharing. The cost for the additional coverage will equate to a small portion of the income earned by the driver, calculated using factors such as time spent ride-sharing, area driven and driving record." This makes perfect sense since Uber already knows where their drivers are and when they're on duty, with or without fares. Presumably Aviva has a special arrangement with Uber to get this data. If it's on an exclusive basis then that gives Aviva a competitive advantage over other insurers.
