Uber and Lyft introduced a new partnership on Thursday, announcing that the two competing ride-share service companies will be working in conjunction with a third party in order to share information with each other about drivers who have been ousted from their services over accusations of sexual assault and other crimes. The move is reportedly an attempt to prevent banned drivers from switching to another company once they have been deactivated from one.
The two companies will work together to create a database that will begin by listing information about drivers who have been kicked out of the services in the United States. However, the platform will also reportedly be available to other companies that utilize workers in similar ways, like services that hire people to deliver groceries or food from take-out places.
