Ridesharing platforms and cab services platforms like Uber and Lyft have now become an invincible part of our lives and urban environment. In 2013, ridesharing was legalized in California; however the services still remain in a legal gray area as these ridesharing platforms do not fall under the same strict standards set for the taxi cab service providers.
Over the last 6 years, rideshare companies like Lyft have been involved in a number of legal battles for cases of car accidents due to distracted drivers to sexual assaults on passengers.
