When drivers are attacked, Uber leaves police waiting for help
- PopAlongKid 4y agoTo me, the title was confusing, it sounded like it was about how Uber failed to respond in real time to emergency calls. If I could, I would change the "When" to "After" despite HN guidelines to the contrary.
- LorenPechtel 4y agoLooks like Uber is setting itself up for some major lawsuits.
- toss1 4y agoSo, Uber literally helps riders get away with murder until they can be bothered to respond to police subpoenas for one of their drivers being carjacked — sending the info multiple weeks later. Yet another example of how Uper's corporate ethos is: "screw everyone else, we'll just do whatever is good for us". But 'oooh, it is a tech company disrupting things so we should give them some slack'. No, if Uber was actually a tech company, they whould be able to respond to such requests faster than anyone else; the police should have the data so fast they wonder how it was done. Uber is not a tech company, they are simply a herd of VC backed scofflaws with a little bit of software sprinkled on top. They are not advancing technology at all.
