https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duress_in_American_law

I don't think it really applies here, since the duress (the carjacking incident) came well after the legal agreement (the driver accepting Uber's TOS).

I think it's that any agreement the driver made with the carjacker would qualify as an agreement made under duress and would be unenforceable.
