Data from more than 200,000 drivers working for the ridesharing

Wildwood Crest - Data from more than 200,000 drivers working for the ridesharing company Lyft in Florida suggest that racial profiling plays a role in traffic citations and fines. Researchers found no detectable differences in speeding or traffic violations between white drivers and a group that included Asian and Pacific Islander, Black, and Hispanic drivers. But minority drivers were 33% more likely to be cited for speeding and paid 34% more money in fines.
