Uber Technologies Inc must face negligence claims by a US woman who says she mistakenly got into a car bearing the company’s windshield decal and was subsequently raped by the driver.
US Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Corley in San Francisco ruled May 1 the woman could proceed on claims that Uber should have instructed the alleged assailant, a suspended driver for the ride-hailing service, to remove and return the decal. The victim claims the Uber logo gave her assurance she was getting a “safe ride”.
