Perhaps this whole “random people using their regular car to give rides to total strangers” thing was a bad idea…
What if instead the rides were given in specially modified cars that can include some security features for both parties? And in order to pay for this, perhaps there could be some kind of central company that owned the cars and simply hired the drivers?
That’s just crazy talk. Next you’ll tell us there should be really big municipally-run cars that a whole bunch of people can ride at once which makes multiple stops. Insanity!
Explain how sorting the list of available passengers by gender is discrimination? It’s being rolled out in huge metropolitan markets so there will be enough drivers for everyone to get one.
@flumph so, if there was a button that allowed drivers to prioritize white passengers, but there wasn’t one to prioritize black passengers, that wouldn’t be discriminatory to you?

They’d need a toggle for the feature on the rider side as well. Like “hide my gender”
Wouldn’t need it at all if rideshare drivers stopped sexually assaulting passengers
There are plenty of sexually aggressive riders too. It’s not one sided. We can summarize it thus: people suck.

On one hand, yes. On the other hand, have you known many companies that have successfully weeded out creeps that work there?
True! Good point

I’d assume if you get legal action thrown at you though, it’d be a lot harder to deny if you also were picking a gender to get specific drivers.

I’m pretty sure the nefarious purpose one isn’t actually dealt with by this and is an extreme outlier

@flumph if they allowed sorting the list by race, instead of by gender… would you understand how it’s discrimination, then?
The protected category doesn’t matter, I don’t see how anyone is getting a leg up or being held back by the feature.

Nope, it doesn’t. The feature is for drivers, not passengers.
