Uber Sued by San Francisco, Los Angeles Prosecutors

Uber Technologies Inc. falsely assured customers that it used “industry-leading standards” to vet its drivers while failing to use fingerprints to check criminal histories, two California prosecutors alleged in a lawsuit.
Lyft Inc., a competitor to Uber’s app-based, on-demand car service, agreed to pay $500,000 and refrain from misrepresenting its driver vetting process to resolve similar allegations, San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon said today at a press conference.
