Does Uber have to comply with section 17150(1) of the California Motor Vehicle Act when it comes to liability under section 5602?

Section 17150 provides, in part, that "Every owner of a motor vehicle is liable and responsible for death or injury to person or property resulting from a negligent or wrongful act or omission in the operation of the motor vehicle . . . by any person using or operating the same with the permission, express or implied, of the owner." It is settled that, for [83 Cal.App.3d 936] the purpose of imposing liability under section 17150, the transferor of an automobile continues to be an owner of the automobile unless he complies with the prerequisites to avoidance of liability as prescribed by section 5602. (Uber v. Ohio Casualty Ins. Co. (1967) 247 Cal.App.2d 611, 615, 55 Cal.Rptr. 720, and cases therein cited.)
