Uber Updates Ridesharing App Following Sexual Assault Charges In Boston, Chicago
Many have to imagine that at Uber's New Year's Eve party, executives were double-fisting the Dom Perignon to blot out the memory of 2014. A new upgrade to the ridesharing start-up's smartphone app may signal a more sober approach to doing business in 2015. Among the troubles the company faced were allegations of drivers sexually assaulting passengers in Boston and Chicago. This week, Uber updated its app to help prevent such incidents in the future. In those locales, the app now features a photo of the driver and the corresponding car's license plate number. Users are now encouraged to verify that both match the car they're entering. http://bit.ly/1HmwUzA http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
