Uber在对以往暴力犯罪进行曝光后,加紧对司机的背景调查。 Uber to tighten driver background checks after exposé on past violent crimes.

Uber正在计划对司机进行更严格的背景调查,因为《纽约时报》的调查显示,过去曾因暴力重罪、性犯罪、儿童或老人虐待以及跟踪跟踪而被定罪的个人,如果犯罪发生在七年多前,可以在其平台上驾车。 Uber is planning stricter background checks for drivers after a New York Times investigation revealed that individuals with past convictions for violent felonies, sexual offenses, child or elder abuse, and stalking were allowed to drive on its platform if the crimes occurred more than seven years ago. 该公司正在考虑禁止任何有这种记录的人,不论罪行何时发生,并审查其七年的较轻指控规则。 The company is considering banning anyone with such records regardless of when the offense occurred and reviewing its seven-year rule for lesser charges. 从2017年到2022年,Uber大约每8分钟收到一次安全事故报告,报告的事件超过400 000起,比以前披露的要多得多。 Between 2017 and 2022, Uber received a safety incident report roughly every eight minutes, with over 400,000 incidents reported—far more than previously disclosed. 这些变化可能设定新的行业标准,而变化是在越来越多的审查、引人注目的案件以及联邦陪审团在强奸案中判给850万美元的情况下发生的。 The changes, which could set new industry standards, come amid growing scrutiny, high-profile cases, and a federal jury awarding $8.5 million in a rape lawsuit. Uber没有宣布实施时间表。 Uber has not announced a timeline for implementation.
