This is gonna cause a chain reaction. This is what happens when you barely vet your drivers. Theyre supposed to do background checks from time to time but many steal accounts or rent their accounts out to people who can’t pass a background check.
It’s a mess. More regulation will be the result and higher prices.
This verdict feels significant not just for the damages, but because it sets a precedent. If systemic failures are proven, the ripple effects for platform accountability could be huge.
Uber needs to be held accountable. I LOVE this
In late November of 2024 I was solicited for prostitution, sexually harassed, and nearly abducted by my driver, on just a short Uber ride home from a counseling appointment, located perhaps about 5 minutes away from where I live.
Don’t recommend.. at least they deplatformed him, but based on the evidence I have, he deserves to be prosecuted.
Probably won’t happen unfortunately.
At least this Settlement is a good start for other victims.
This is the end if your an Uber driver. If the driver becomes an even bigger liability then uber will be dumping even more money into self driving cars. Sad for me since I drive for Uber. They have already been giving the best rides to Waymo cars, and once they are fully allowed on the freeway with passengers they will phase drivers out.
As someone not from the US, can someone explain how the man who did this is not in prison? From where I live — this person would be immediately arrested by the police. While i understand this is specifically a civil case and why is there not a criminal case ?
This is AMAZING news. Uber has gotten away with so much immoral business practice and has never been held accountable. I hope all the victims get the same or higher judgement.
