Price gouging accusations and boycott threats aside, a driver of a Honda Pilot SUV was searching for fares through Uber's service when he struck and killed 7-year-old Sophia Liu in the Tenderloin on December 31st. That driver has since been removed from Uber's system, but the case raised additional questions about liability. In March of last year an off-duty Uber driver also caused an accident on Divisadero, leading to a complicated liability lawsuit for a pedestrian injured in the incident.
