Uber is to pay $20m to settle allegations that it misled drivers in the US with false promises about earnings and costs from 2015 until late 2013. During that period, Uber was attempting to recruit and expand in order to outperform rival Lyft. The Federal Trade Commission claimed that Uber drivers in 18 major US cities earned less than the company advertised online and were also forced to spend more on leasing cars than indicated. Most of the settlement will go to affected drivers.
