One difference with taxi cabs is that many of them have security video systems in the car. These are primarily for driver safety, but can also be for passenger safety.
Some taxis also have a driver safety system that when engaged will flash a light on the rear of the cab to notify folks to call the police that the driver needs help. I wonder if thieves will start robbing uber driver (car jack) because of a general lack of security systems?
- dnautics 12y agoubers don't carry cash, so it's no better than robbing a private car. Taxis do carry cash, which is why they desire those systems.
- rbobby 12y agoI was thinking of car jacking... taking the entire car. UberLux/UberSux/UberBlack is essentially an on demand high end vehicle for thieves. They'd need a burner cell phone and stolen credit card... but that's a pretty low barrier.
- dnautics 12y agoStill not that much better than jacking a private car.

Are these protected from the driver itself? Seems like someone who intended to commit a crime would simply "accidentally" disconnect it.
