When women riders and drivers told us they wanted more control over how they ride and earn, we listened. That feedback led to Women Preferences, features designed to give women the choice to ride with other women. Since our first pilots last summer, we’ve heard just how much that choice matters—from feeling more comfortable in the back seat to more confident behind the wheel.
Now add a “Chatty Cathy” / “Leave me the fuck alone, don’t worry I’ll still give you a tip as long as we don’t have to talk” option.
When you request a car you can add a message to the driver saying something like ‘passenger is deaf/dead’.
That works sometimes.
“Don’t make eye contact.”
Here in Europe we already have that, at least for comfort and above.
I’m imagining how awful it would be for a German to get into an Uber with an average chatty American driver.
