At first I thought the same thing about media reports aimed at tainting Uber, but apparently the Uber angle is relevant to the case. From the reports I’ve seen, the guy picked up a couple of Uber fares in the midst of his killing spree, and one of the key witnesses in the case is a passenger who was so alarmed at the guy’s driving that he bailed out of the car at a traffic light and fled.
The most chilling aspect of this report is Uber stating that they often get complaints about dangerous drivers. They said they logged the complaint and was considering a “time out” for the driver if they got enough complaints.
Often get complaints about dangerous Uber employees? Really?
Yea, unregulated drivers providing transportation services for the public with NO OVERSIGHT is a real good idea.
Their attorneys are working overtime right now trying to deflect responsibility.
