| Uber, Lyft Shun Fingerprint Requirements for Drivers |  | As cities worldwide struggle to balance the fast growth of vehicle-for-hire apps with traditional taxi services. Houston, San Antonio and Austin currently take different approaches to a key regulatory issue: whether vehicle-for-hire app drivers must undergo fingerprint background checks. The issue has proven pivotal to Uber and Lyft in Texas. Lyft refuses to operate in Houston, where fingerprint checks are required. Uber isnâ??t currently available in San Antonio, which has a voluntary fingerprinting program. And both companies are worried that Austin is about to become a lot less hospitable.

| Family Sues Yellow Cab, Driver for Wrongful Death | | An Austin family is suing Yellow Cab and one of its drivers for $1 million after the driver struck a woman crossing the street in 2013. Foad Assou struck 72-year-old Zebeida Rivera-Roan around 2 p.m. at the intersection of Cesar Chavez and Chicon Street on March 13, 2013. Rivera-Roan, who used a walker and was legally blind, was transported to University Medical Center-Brackenridge and died three days later. According to the TxDOT report, as the driver turned left onto Chicon Street, he yielded to oncoming traffic, but not to Rivera-Roan, who was trying to cross westbound on Cesar Chavez Street across Chicon.
