California sues Uber over driver checks in new legal action
California prosecutors sue Uber in San Francisco Superior Court over driver background checks and related claims.

Lyft settled similar claims for 500000 and changes to fare regulation and airport permits. Sidecar remains under probe. Uber defends its role as part of the transportation system and says it will continue discussions with district attorneys.
