Background checks are definitely imperfect, but that is not Ubers fault. The issue is usually not the background check providers, but rather the upstream data sources (read: local governments, courthouses, DMV, etc)

Have you bothered searching the incidences of taxi drivers attacking their customers? No, you'll just take whatever is spoonfed to you from the media, I guess.

Within this thread, your parent has at least provided some support for their position. If you're aware of evidence to support yours (e.g., information regarding taxi-driver attacks or counter to the info in the cnet article), that would be a worthwhile contribution. Dismissing out of hand the commenter as naïve isn't civil.

If you don't like CNET, here are a few hundred more 'incidents' involving Uber and also Lyft drivers, the most recent one being a kidnapping on 12/14/16:

Why are you so invested in ignoring what's right in front of you?
"News of assaults by ride-hailing drivers has been a frequent occurrence. Reports of rape, battery and harassment have grabbed headlines in California, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Washington, Florida and many other states. While some of these drivers have clean criminal histories, others had prior convictions that Uber and Lyft's background checks didn't find."
