Uber was already doing background checks in Austin. They quit in protest of a requirement that drivers be fingerprinted and forced to drive around with Uber decals on their cars.

- wavefunction 10y agoUber (combined with Lyft) spent $10,000,000 to lie to the people of Austin about the effects of Prop 1. At a conservative cost of $50 per finger-printing, that's enough to fingerprint 200,000 drivers. I know because I received over 30 pieces of direct mail in the two weeks leading up to the vote from whatever clown-show operation they hired. Twelve of the direct mail pieces were the same mailer. Given the waste of paper and their previous history (especially the behavior of the executives), I don't care if Uber ever "comes back."
