March 6 (UPI) -- A Southeast Asia ride-share partner of Uber has received a major round of funding, as the U.S. company avoids charges in the death of an Arizona woman last year.
Grab, Uber's ride-hailing partner in the region, said it's received nearly $1.5 billion in new funding from Softbank. As a result, Grab Holdings has now raised more than $4.5 billion in the latest fundraising window -- which includes cash infusions from Toyota, Oppenheimer Funds, Hyundai, Booking Holdings, Microsoft, Ping An Capital and Yamaha.
