Some workers on car-rental startup Turo Inc’s trust and safety team have interrupted vacations to monitor and respond to the aftermath of deadly attacks in Las Vegas and New Orleans, according to a person familiar with the matter.
In both incidents, which the FBI has said appear to be unrelated, the drivers used cars they procured on the platform to inflict violence. The attacks, both of which happened Jan 1, highlight how the rental marketplace can be used cheaply and easily to procure large vehicles that can be used as weapons.
