Uber has reportedly approved drivers with violent crime histories, including assault and stalking, in 22 US states. Internal documents suggest the company limited background checks to accelerate growth and minimize costs, despite public safety promises. Uber's seven-year cutoff for felony convictions is defended by the company, though safety experts raise concerns.
