Brazil has serious no go zones, some areas can get you killed just for trespassing. Anyways, that's probably why this feature even exists. Good part is that lots of Brazilians are tech savvy ( on a much higher rate than in US ), so this would fail quite frequently.
My guess is that Uber will record drivers that commit fraud and they would be affected over time. One point, taxi drivers are famous for making way worse frauds than what they do at Uber and with no way for you to file a complaint.
Peace

- fjsolwmv 8y agoIt sounds bad but it's actually good -- competition is causing inprovement. Rome wasn't built in a day.
- drb91 8y agoAhh yes competition between VC funds and the enterprising entrepeneurs of Rio.
- shiburizu 8y agoThis is a real problem in latin American countries where the taxi system is broken and run by ignorant older men (often with state subsidy) that provide inadequate service. Pleasant then, that the government likes to block said VC funds (Costa Rica).
- DKnoll 8y agoNot to be pedantic but every country has places you can get killed for trespassing.
