A few problems with that: * Couldn't a man identify as female, and then be in the perfect situation to find women in "less safe areas" who feel vulnerable? *

A few problems with that:
* Couldn't a man identify as female, and then be in the perfect situation to find women in "less safe areas" who feel vulnerable?
* This would also allow men to request female drivers, are you sure that's a good thing?
* Only 14% of Uber drivers are female, so you might be waiting awhile for that ride...
- minimaxir 7y ago> This would also allow men to request female drivers, are you sure that's a good thing? The OP explicitly mentioned women-asking-for-female drivers, and not implying the inverse. That type of program is not uncommon for safety.
- dagav 7y agoI don't remember Uber ever asking for my gender, just a phone number. How would they enforce that?
- minimaxir 7y agoGiven increased political scrutiny, I wouldn't be surprised if Uber/Lyft was compelled to do more rider-side verification in the future.
- CryptoBanker 7y agoWhat political scrutiny of Uber riders are you referring to?
- tonyarkles 7y agoNot political scrutiny of the riders, but increased scrutiny of the companies themselves and their practices.
