A jury has ordered Uber to pay $40 million to the family of a 23-year-old woman who was killed after her Uber driver allegedly ordered her and a sick friend to exit the vehicle on a California highway. The woman was struck and killed after being left on the roadside. The case has raised questions about Uber's safety protocols and driver conduct policies, with the family's attorneys arguing the company failed to adequately train or monitor its drivers in such situations.
