Excerpt from Los Angeles Times -- "As agencies scrutinize Uber's background checks, Arun Sundararajan, a professor of business at New York University, said they also should evaluate the effectiveness of taxi driver screening. 'If people say Uber missed a certain fraction of drivers, how frequently does this happen with government regulators?' said Sundararajan, who studies the sharing economy. 'Are they perfect? Or do they sometimes miss this?'"
