Uber will give its US passengers and drivers more leeway to pursue sexual misconduct claims. The shift announced Tuesday will allow riders and drivers to file allegations rather than being locked into an arbitration hearing. It's a conciliatory step from CEO Dara Khosrowshahi. He's vowed to "do the right thing" to repair damage from previous missteps. The changes come a month after Uber announced it will do criminal background checks on US drivers annually.
