Recently-reported rapes by traditional taxi drivers that haven't been on the front page of HN: http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2014/12/11/cab... http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2014/12/tourist_says_cab... http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/Cab-Driver-Arrested-for-S... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2844528/Taxi-driver-...
Key word here is accused. Nothing is proven yet so let's not jump to conclusions. Also as asn0 has said, traditional taxis have more rape issues and they have nowhere near the level of record keeping Uber does to help authorities solve these issues.

Why would someone falsely accuse an Uber driver of rape? Humor me.
It's important that we forgive Uber for these unfortunate incidents. It's wrong to pick on an innocent company for the misdeeds of a few employees.

They don't involve a "startup" whose raison d'etre is to bypass regulation and break laws in order to achieve competitive advantage.

"Not to make assumptions, but Kalanick probably wasn’t the first kid in his class to lose his virginity. But the way he talks now—which is large—he’s surely making up for lost time. When I tease him about his skyrocketing desirability, he deflects with a wisecrack about women on demand: “Yeah, we call that Boob-er.” "
It's funny up until the moment that it isn't. Kalanick should go, and Uber should get a CEO who can credibly promise to take issues of safety seriously.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yup, exactly. As someone with loved ones in Cambridge who use Uber constantly, and is therefore extremely distressed by rapists prowling their neighborhoods... thank god for Uber. I'm a tall, professional male with a law degree who's never intoxicated or high. Even then, I've had many cabs do shady stuff in NYC and even I couldn't recall who drove me, if the driver's license (if displayed at all) matched the driver's…
Most taxi companies in big cities track their cars with GPS these days. It's really too cheap not to do it these days. They've already got cellular transmitters in them for credit card processing, so adding a GPS phone-home isn't incredibly costly.
