Uber can be sued over driver assaults, judge rules

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge says two women who allege that Uber drivers assaulted them, one in Boston and the other in South Carolina, can sue the ride-hailing company.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco says the women showed the possibility that the drivers were Uber employees who acted within the scope of their employment. That could be determined later.
