Uber will soon launch a feature to connect female drivers with female riders, starting pilot programs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit. The new safety feature follows a successful initiative in Saudi Arabia in 2019. Female riders can select 'Women Drivers' when booking trips and adjust preferences in their app settings. Female drivers, who made up 20% of drivers in 2023, will be able to request female passengers. Implementation will depend on the number of female drivers in each city, and the feature is limited to those identifying as women.
Uber is introducing a new safety feature that allows female riders to be matched with female drivers, beginning pilot programs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit in the coming weeks. This initiative addresses safety concerns that women face when using ride-hailing services.
Female riders will have the option called 'Women Drivers' when requesting trips and can adjust their app settings for these preferences. Similarly, female drivers can opt to request female passengers.
