During a board meeting held to determine the probable cause of the March 2018 crash in Tempe, Ariz., the NTSB said an Uber Technologies Inc. division’s “inadequate safety culture” contributed to the fatal collision between an Uber automated test vehicle and a pedestrian.
Florida was an "outsized contributor" to the insurer’s Uber problems, especially in 2016, given a large number of uninsured and under-insured motorists.
Travelers at Los Angeles International Airport endured wait times of over an hour for Uber, Lyft, and taxi rides. Airport officials have banned curbside pickups so travelers must board a shuttle or walk to the new pickup area.
In a letter to the companies, Representative Peter DeFazio called their refusal to attend the hearing "unacceptable."

The policy comes amid driver-led protests outside Uber's San Francisco's headquarters.
It's unclear whether or not the trial will be expanded to other airports.
