Uber hit with lawsuit to reveal how its algorithm works

Uber has been hit with a lawsuit by two British drivers in a bid to reveal how the company's algorithm works. The headquarters for Uber in Europe is in Amsterdam, so the drivers have taken their case to a Dutch court. Uber's drivers want to know what data is being collected about them – and how it's being used. The drivers are concerned that Uber's algorithm isn't entirely neutral in how it decides who to allocate rides to. "They want to prove that Uber is in fact acting as an employer," their lawyer, Anton Ekker, said to Dutch outlet NOS.
