A ride-hailing driver in China has allegedly killed a passenger after repeatedly running them over with his car during a pickup dispute. News of the horrific killing has sparked renewed scrutiny of ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing’s accountability for its driver’s conduct. Didi said that the driver passed a background check in 2019, as he had no prior criminal records and had been a passenger driver for 19 years. “We will try to eliminate all safety risks, enhance driver safety training and lower the rate of safety incidents. In 2018, two women were raped and killed by Didi drivers.
