Uber says over 3,000 reports of sexual assault in 2018 include 235 of 'non-consensual sexual penetration' and 280 of 'attempted non-consensual sexual penetration' – nearly all filed by women

"I suspect many people will be surprised at how rare these incidents are; others will understandably think they're still too common. Some people will appreciate how much we've done on safety; others will say we have more work to do. They will all be right," tweeted Chief Executive Officer Dara Khosrowshahi.

At an event on Wednesday, Khosrowshahi said he prioritised improving Uber's culture and safety when assuming his role in 2017. At the time, Uber was dealing with regulatory fallout and public backlash over its business practices, forcing former CEO and founder Travis Kalanick to step down. Regulators have long said Uber's screening process was insufficient and inferior to those in place for taxi drivers, with several US cities attempting to compel Uber to mandate fingerprinting of its drivers.

An Uber spokeswoman on Thursday said the firm's screening process was robust and rigorous, and was more reliable than the database for fingerprints where she said not all crimes are updated promptly.Lyft –– which has sought to position itself as a more socially responsible company –– is meanwhile facing a series of lawsuits over sexual assault or rape that allegedly occurred in vehicles affiliated with the California company.
