A businessman in southern France is suing ride-hailing company Uber over his wife's discovery of rides he took to see his lover, his lawyer said.

 

法国南部一名商人的律师表示，其客户将向法庭起诉叫车公司优步，因为优步的应用程序导致他的太太发现了他和情人会面的行踪。

 

The man says he once requested an Uber driver from his wife's phone.

 

Despite logging off, the application continued to send notifications to her iPhone afterwards, revealing his travel history and arousing her suspicions.

 

The couple have since divorced. The lawsuit¹ is reportedly worth up to €45m.

 

"My client was the victim of a bug² in an application," his lawyer David-André Darmon told AFP news agency after the case was lodged³ at a court in Grasse.

 

"The bug has caused him problems in his private life," Mr Darmon added.

 

The lawyer did not comment on a report in Le Figaro newspaper that the lawsuit was worth up to €45m, saying only that his client wished to remain discreet⁴ and anonymous⁵.
