Uber is going to court this week to fight a ban preventing it from operating in one of its biggest international markets, London

— after "several breaches that placed passengers and their safety at risk." It found that more than 14,000 drivers had uploaded fake identities onto other Uber driver's accounts to pick up passengers in the city.

Uber has made "a number of positive changes and improvements to its culture, leadership and systems" since its license was stripped, TfL said in aIn April, Uber announced a new system whereby drivers take a selfie before picking up a passenger, and have their identity verified via facial recognition.

Jamie Heywood, Uber's regional general manager of northern and eastern Europe, said in a statement that the company has "worked hard to address TfL's concerns over the last few months, rolled out real-time ID checks for drivers, and are committed to keeping people moving safely around the city." The taxi app is still operating in London because of its decision to appeal the ban, even though it no longer has a license.

London is among Uber's five-biggest markets worldwide. Uber has around 45,000 drivers and 3.5 million users in the city.Get your weekly recap of all things electric vehicles, airlines, and more.

Here’s my take on Uber after working for them it’s basically 🖕 does nothing to help drivers in real time with app issues, intentionally time-gates drivers to keep more drivers on the road longer up to 3hrs no jobs, customer service is offshore with no accountability. Arseholes!

Bullshit. Here in Paris, drivers still rent their accounts and they just need to be be with the owner to validate the account with a selfie. No more verification
