　　Prosecutors in Los Angeles in San Francisco say Uber Technologies has agreed to pay 10 million dollars as part of a 25-million-dollar settlement to end a civil lawsuit against it in California. The app-based taxi services faced accusations of misleading customers about its checks on drivers. Dave Lee reports from San Francisco. If you want to drive a traditional taxi in California, you need to provide a fingerprint to check for prior convictions. But to drive an Uber, that's not necessary as the company uses a different system to vet its drivers. So when Uber advertised itself as the safest drive on the road, authorities cried foul. Prosecutors said Uber missed 25 people with prior convictions including several sex offenders and a convicted murderer. Uber has agreed to change how it advertised its safety procedures, but the BBC understands it will not be adding finger printing to its vetting process.
