Uber has been ordered to pay $40 million in damages to the family of 23-year-old Emily Normandin-Parker, who died after an Uber ride. The driver asked her and her friend to exit the vehicle on a California highway, leading to Emily being struck by another vehicle. Her parents stated they trusted Uber to bring their daughter home safely. The company initially offered $10 million for a settlement, which the family rejected. The judge issued the compensation order after a five-day arbitration process.
