Question

Uber Technologies, Inc. develops, markets and operates the Uber app. The app allows consumers to request an Uber driver to pick them up and drop them off at the nearest location. Uber drivers use their own personal cars and are viewed by Uber as independent contractors. Uber views the app as a conduit between the transportation providers and passengers. A passenger brought action against Uber after the Uber driver stabbed the passenger following an alteration. The passenger alleged that Uber was liable for negligent hiring, training, and supervision.
Required:
Should Uber be held liable for the actions of its driver

Answer 1

Answer:

Throughout the clarification category elsewhere here, the definition of the query is mentioned.

Explanation:

• Uber really shouldn't be held accountable for some of its driver's conduct because Uber explicitly notes that Uber considers personal vehicles as private consultants and also that the app is just a conduit between some of the contractors of mobility and customers. Since it is an autonomous body operating as a single agency, the organization does not claim responsibility for the driver's actions.
• To gain the lawsuit, the commuter would show that he may have been a full-time employee but also that maybe he can hold the company accountable for his conduct in his operating hours.
