uber wants to fingerprint new drivers and make them take lie detector tests

http://blog.uber.com/safety posted:

Technology: Our Safety Product Team is developing more ways to put technology to work to ensure the safety of riders and drivers in key areas. We are initiating research & development on biometrics and voice verification to build custom tools for enhanced driver screening. We are also investing in ways to provide riders the instant ability to communicate with us and their loved ones in the event of an emergency, building on top of our ShareMyETA feature.
Background Checks: In many places outside the U.S., the infrastructure and complexity of background checks vary significantly. This is of deep concern to us. We are finding solutions in many places that range from polygraph exams that fill gaps in available data to adding our own processes on top of existing screening for commercial licenses � which is what we are undertaking in India. We are exploring new ways to screen drivers globally, using scientific analysis and technology to find solutions.

Remember Uber's $1 million dollar insurance policy? Let's see what it covers

Uberforums posted:

Scenario
An Uber driver has a passenger in his car and is on a trip with the meter running. The Uber driver does NOT have commercial auto insurance and he is violating the livery business exclusion of his personal automobile policy by driving for Uber. The Uber driver then gets into an accident that is his fault. His car is severely damaged, the car he hit is severely damaged. Both the Uber driver and the Uber passenger are injured, as is the driver of the other car. Referring to the graphic on the Uber insurance page, this scenario takes place entirely in Period 3. See graphic at http://blog.uber.com/ridesharinginsurance

Questions:
1) Who pays for the Uber driver's and Uber passenger's medical care?
Uber�s Rasier liability insurance policy will cover the injured Uber passenger. The Uber driver�s medical claim will not be covered by Uber�s Rasier insurance liability or collision policy. And since the driver does not have a commercial insurance policy of any sort on his/her automobile, the Uber driver�s personal automobile policy will not be applicable here either as the Uber driver is violating the livery exclusion of his/her personal automobile insurance policy. In the event that an Uber driver is injured in a crash that is his/her fault while driving for Uber with a passenger in the car, the only medical insurance coverage that applies in this scenario is the driver�s health insurance coverage. If the driver has no healthcare insurance coverage, which is a violation of the Affordable Care Act, the driver will be responsible for his/her medical expenses out-of-pocket.

2) Who pays for the other driver's medical care?
The Uber Rasier liability insurance policy is the primary insurer, so the driver of the other car and his/her passengers will make his/her medical claim against Uber. The Uber driver�s personal policy will not be employed to cover the medical claims of the not-at-fault driver and the occupants of that driver�s automobile.

3) Who pays for the repairs or replacement of the Uber driver�s car?
Uber expects the driver to first make the property claim against his/her personal automobile policy. Uber understands that most personal automobile insurance carriers will deny the claim. Uber also understands that many personal automobile insurance carriers will cancel the policy in this scenario. After the driver�s personal automobile insurance carrier denies the claim, Uber�s contingent collision coverage will cover the property claim with a $1000 deductible.

Although Uber is aware that most drivers will likely have their personal automobile policy canceled in this scenario, Uber is not currently offering to assist drivers find other automobile insurance coverage.

4) Who pays for the repairs or replacement of the other driver's car?
Uber�s Rasier liability insurance policy does.

As we wound up our conversation, we agreed on some simple best practices until the automobile insurance industry figures out how to insure TNC drivers.

Be really careful out there.
Don�t even think about driving for a TNC if you do not have adequate healthcare insurance. (Remember, failing to carry healthcare insurance on yourself is a violation of the ACA.)
Check your insurance policy and make sure you understand whether or not your policy has a livery exclusion.
Don�t volunteer to your automobile insurance carrier that you are driving for a TNC. However, if your insurance carrier asks if you are driving for a TNC, you better be honest, even if it means having your policy canceled.
If all you carry is liability insurance on your automobile, don't even think about driving for Uber. Uber will NOT extend collision and comprehensive to your automobile if you do not carry collision and comprehensive on your personal policy.
At the rate TNCs are gaining popularity, the automobile insurance industry is going to have to figure this out sooner as opposed to later. Keep abreast of news and developments in the automobile insurance arena
Never pick up a rogue fare. Doing so means you have ZERO insurance coverage anywhere.
Do not end the trip until all passengers and their belongings are out of your car and all doors are closed and locked.

basically:
better have good health insurance while driving for uber or else
if you get in a wreck, it's an almost instant firing cause uber expects you to have insurance, and also expects you to get your insurance cancelled before they'll cover damages to your car and liability claims
uber would like you to try to make claims to your insurance for accidents while withholding the fact that you work for uber (unless they ask of course!)

isn't Uber's policy here essentially requiring the drive attempt to commit insurance fraud?

apparently, the only details he's posted was that the uber was pulled over, the driver did not have a license and was taken out of the car for more questions, and my friend called another uber to pick him up and take him home. this was in SF. he did say the driver was the one from the app, so yeah. the driver was 'american' and just told the cops straight up that he did not have a license when he got asked for it.
