The Best Story I’ve Heard Today with USA Today - Wisconsin reporter Jonathan Anderson

Uber has been in the news with the unfortunate story out of Arizona about the death of the first pedestrian by an autonomous car. 

 

You can read some of those stories here:

But, as USA Today Network - Wisconsin reporter Jonathan Anderson tells us, that's not the only story where Uber figures in as an important player. There's a lot going on, and these are some of the stories we're talking about these stories:

India’s Uber drivers went on strike because they’re making $3 a day

Uber driver charged with raping woman in car in Boston

Uber driver attacked with hatchet in robbery during York-Lancaster ride, cops say

Anderson takes a look at all of that in the aggregate, and we try to figure out if the gig company has a PR problem, or a regulatory one.

This isn't the first time we've talked about Uber and the gig economy. You can hear that episode here. And you can hear Jonathan Anderson's previous visit to the program right here, when he talked about a Wisconsin Supreme Court open records ruling.
