Uber announces stronger background checks for drivers
Summary
Uber is tightening driver screening rules after safety lawsuits and criticism over past background check practices. The company will now permanently bar drivers with certain sexual, stalking, and strangulation-related convictions and will expand checks to cover a driver's full 99-year record. Uber says it will not apply the changes retroactively in most low-risk cases and is rolling the new process out nationwide. The update reflects pressure from safety advocates, civil rights groups, and legal scrutiny over passenger protection.
