Description

CNN Investigates' multi-part, five month-long reporting project focused on allegations of sexual assaults by drivers of the rideshare giant Uber. Uber pitches itself in advertising as a “safe ride home,” but CNN's reporting found that in case after case across the country, Uber drivers prey on female passengers, and Uber's background check process allowed thousands of convicted criminals to become drivers. CNN's investigation led to safety changes in the Uber app, a change in the background check policy, and a change in Uber's policy that forced sexual assault victims into arbitration and compelled them to sign non-disclosure agreements.
