FILE – In this March 15, 2017, file photo, a sign marks a pick up point for the Uber car service at LaGuardia Airport in New York. The Justice Department in Manhattan is investigating whether Uber illegally used software to track drivers for Lyft, its main ride-hailing competitor, to gain an advantage in attracting and recruiting drivers, according to two people familiar with the probe. The FBI and the U.S. Attorneyâ€™s Office in New Yorkâ€™s Southern District want to know if use of the software, which created fake customer accounts, broke any federal laws, said the people, who didnâ€™t want to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly. An Uber spokeswoman said Friday, Sept. 8 it is cooperating in the probe and that use of the software has been discontinued. The U.S. Attorneyâ€™s Office would not comment on the case.
