专车司机强奸案：Uber美国与受害者和解 - IT资讯
此前，移动专车公司Uber在美国遭遇了两宗女性乘客的官司，原告起诉Uber司机实施性攻击。日前，Uber和两位原告达成了和解协议。
据美国彭博社周四报道，Uber和两位原告并未对外披露和解协议的内容。在这一官司中，原告认为Uber公司必须为司机的行为承担责任，而在几个月之前，Uber曾经对法庭表示，专车司机并不是Uber的全职员工，仅仅是签署合同的独立外包人员，因此Uber不该为他们的行为负责，但是Uber的说法遭到了法官的反对。
原告一名律师表示，美国法庭的表态，意味着Uber不能够撇开专车司机非法行为的法律责任，哪怕在实施犯罪行为的时间段，这位专车司机并未开启Uber手机软件。
由于双方达成了和解，美国加州旧金山地方法庭法官Susan Illston周四也撤销了这一诉讼。
在两位原告中，一名原告在法庭文件中化名为“Jane Doe 1”。她指出，2015年2月，她和男朋友一起乘坐Uber的专车，而在男朋友提前下车之后，Uber司机对他发起了性攻击，她仓促逃离。
另外一个原告化名为“Jane Doe 2。据称，2015年8月，她在南卡罗莱纳州的查尔斯顿叫了一辆Uber专车，准备回家，但是这名司机却偏离了她回家的路线，准备进行强暴。
上述的第二宗案件，已经被美国媒体广为报道。据报道，这名Uber兼职司机当时年龄为39岁，在一所中学担任六年级教师，事发之后，他已经被学校开除。据受害者对媒体称，这名司机故意绕圈子，他还对女乘客提出，如果付费，自己可以提供性服务。
此前，Uber专车服务的安全性已经在全世界引发了争议，一些国家的政府和消费者指出，Uber并未对兼职专车司机的背景进行足够的安全性审核。另外在美国，Uber还被指在审核司机安全方面误导了消费者。
另外在美国，监管部门曾要求Uber效仿出租车公司，提取申请者的指纹信息对于司机进行安全背景审查，但是此举遭到Uber拒绝，该公司目前仅仅是利用申请者的姓名，去调查相关的法庭犯罪裁决记录。
今年早些时候，美国司法部门还把Uber告上了法庭，理由是司机安全审核上误导公众，Uber随后和检方达成了和解协议，Uber表示未来在广告中不会再说本公司的司机安全审查是“黄金标准”，另外也不会继续使用“全世界最安全的专车服务”这样的广告语。
另外在2015年9月，Uber和印度的另外一名女性受害者达成了和解协议。这名原告是新德里的一个白领人士，她指控Uber司机对她进行殴打和强暴，认为Uber的安全措施并不完备。
在印度发生的Uber司机强暴女乘客事件，引发了当地舆论关注，Uber遭到媒体抨击。后来，Uber专门针对印度版本的客户端进行了修改，增加了“一键防狼”功能，可以快速把自己的位置信息告诉给好友或者警方。
一些消费者机构认为，不仅仅是在印度，Uber应该在全球的客户端中增加防范“色狼司机”的功能，进一步保护女性乘客的安全。本周，Uber在公司总部对外预览了最新版的客户端，虽然在选择专车方面更加人性化，但是Uber并未增加“一键防狼”功能。
另据台湾媒体报道，最近台湾地区也第一次爆出了女性乘客被Uber男司机强暴的消息。一位34岁的陈姓男司机，利用妻子的名义开车载客，今年八月份拉了一名从KTV出来的女子，最后起了色心并实施强暴行为。
