Drivers don't see you when they take the ride so there is no racial bias. When they refuse to take you across abridge, they leave a digital trail so you can contact Uber about the specific person that refused the ride.
- calvinbhai 12y agothats not true. Driver sees the user details, and the ratings, before accepting the ride offer. The driver has an option to not take the ride offer. I too was of the same thought that Uber drivers don't discriminate. But I have had a few too many instances where Uber shows more than one vehicle available nearby, when I confirm booking, after some time, no driver accepts. Why would it be so? Could it be because of my non-caucasian/american name? After this happened, I just removed my photo, and now I'm thinking of having a generic american first/last name. Just because Uber says it doesn't happen, doesnt mean that its not happening. Either Uber is using wrong metrics/data to identify such occurrences, or is flat-out lying to everyone saying that "the drivers cannot discriminate".
