California will require fingerprint screening for Uber drivers to provide rideshares to minors
Briefly

The California Public Utilities Commission mandates fingerprint background checks for drivers to transport unaccompanied minors in rideshares, impacting services like Uber.
Uber has introduced safety features for its teen accounts, allowing minors to use rideshare services independently, albeit with parental consent.
Historically, Uber has opposed fingerprinting drivers, claiming it discourages participation and arguing that their existing safety measures are adequate.
Uber contends that requiring companies to bear the cost of fingerprinting will eventually lead to higher fares for unaccompanied minors.
