MORE Uber problems

[juan917]

Lol! Both articles published today.

One is Uber getting sued with a class action lawsuit because they are using sophisticated software to manipulate rider fares and driver pay

Uber said to use “sophisticated” software to defraud drivers, passengers

And the other is over 8,000 uber drivers failing a state background check in MA

More than 1,500 drivers were rejected for a violent crime charge. Other reasons for denial included various driving offenses, felony convictions, and sex, abuse and exploitation. The state also identified 51 sex offenders.

If indeed Uber is using software to defraud their customers & drivers, then that's a crime that needs punished. The class action suit should be revealing.

However, a quick search suggests that police don't record offenses that occur in cabs or ubers in a manner that can provide useful statistical data. Given all the recent attacks against Uber, it's likely that the competition is trying to smear Uber in the media with statistics.

Remember what Mark Twain said: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics!"
