Passive income: NO

It is highly unlikely that someone could earn passive income from being a rideshare driver. The nature of rideshare driving requires active participation, as drivers need to be physically present to transport passengers. There are no feasible systems or automation that can make this work passive. Most people do not reach a level where rideshare driving becomes passive, as it inherently involves active labor. While some may attempt to create passive income through related activities like renting out vehicles to other drivers, this is not the norm and involves additional risks and management. Misleading expectations often arise from the misconception that rideshare driving can be automated or outsourced, but in reality, it remains an active income stream for the vast majority.
