http://money.cnn.com/2018/04/30/technology/uber-driver-sexual-assault/index.html

In the past four years, 103 Uber drivers have been accused of sexual assault from their passengers. John David Sanchez, an Uber driver, was arrested for having videos of himself raping women and young teenagers on his computer. Sanchez is one of many. At least 31 drivers have been convicted of crimes ranging from forceful touching to rape. U er has come out with a statement saying that they wish to be apart of the solution. They plan to host 50 community forums to help drivers and riders share their issues.
This article was written by Sara Ashley O'Brien, Nelli Black, Curt Devine, and Drew griffin. This artucle is very enlightening because people need to learn to be on the lookout for unsafe drivers when using Uber. the company os great and all, but they need to take more precaution before making someone an Uber driver. However, its good that Uber os taking somewhat of a step to keep all riders and drivers safe. This article can be related to Ford's model T because that was the first real American car and seeing how much one object can do is insane.

  1. That is 103 people to many, THERES a reason I say no to certain things like ubering by myself. For one thing I am half the size of the average person, and I am a teenager. That is a huge target for most people, and I always feel uneasy when I’m alone in any public place. Uber should be a safe community, but instead we have to watch out for that too?!?!
