In an interview with CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour that will air Wednesday, Khosrowshahi defended Uber's business model, which involves the company investing heavily in promotions to entice customers to its on-demand ride and meal-delivery offerings."The model is absolutely sustainable," Khosrowshahi said."The business, for example, is still growing 30-plus percent on a global basis.

The law could increase driver costs for Uber in the state, and trigger similar legislation nationwide. Uber has claimed the bill will not require it to reclassify the drivers, and Khosrowshahi echoed those statements when speaking with Amanpour."The law, of course applies, but we don't think that the law, as it relates to us, would classify our drivers as full-time workers," Khosrowshahi said.
