China's largest ride-hailing firm has suspended its carpooling service to investigate the murder of a young air stewardess who was using its Didi Chuxing's Hitch service from Zhengzhou airport. The incident occurred on July 20 when an unidentified passenger in a car with two other passengers tried to hail a taxi at the airport and then stabbed one of them before fleeing, according to local media. The account was also allowed to be used despite having an unresolved previous complaint of sexual harassment. Didi said it "has “undeniable” responsibility" for the incident.
China's largest ride-hailing firm has suspended its carpooling service to investigate the murder of a young air stewardess who was using its Didi Chuxing's Hitch service from Zhengzhou airport. The suspect, the vehicle driver, was not registered with the service, but was able to use his father's verified account because the company's facial recognition technology was "defective". The account was also allowed to be used despite having an unresolved previous complaint of sexual harassment. Didi said it "has “undeniable” responsibility" for the incident.
