A California federal judge has ordered Lyft to produce sexual misconduct records for four drivers who allegedly assaulted Uber passengers. This ruling comes as part of an Uber sexual assault multidistrict litigation (MDL), where plaintiffs argue the records could reveal Uber’s potential prior knowledge of the drivers’ misconduct through inadequate background checks or flawed data sharing with Lyft. Lyft must comply with the subpoena to provide these documents, which are deemed relevant to determining Uber’s culpability in the ongoing bellwether trials.
