Uber launched a feature Monday to allow both women riders and drivers across the U.S. to be matched with other women for trips, expanding a pilot program aimed at addressing concerns about the safety of its ride-hailing platform.

The new feature is being rolled out nationwide despite an ongoing class action lawsuit against the policy in California, filed by Uber drivers who argue that it discriminates against men. Rival ride-hailing company Lyft is facing a discrimination lawsuit over a similar offering that it introduced nationwide in 2024.

      Reading comprehension is a real struggle for you, isn’t it?

      Knowing that men, on average, are worse drivers than women does not mean I think all men are terrible drivers.

      Same as knowing that 3 women being terrible drivers doesn’t mean all women are terrible drivers.

        I didn’t say all women were bad drivers. I described the three worst drivers I encounter on my morning commute and you extrapolated all women from that. With you superior comprehension skills. LOL.

          You clearly offered that anecdotal evidence to refute my claim that men are worse drivers than women on average.

          Your sarcastic line at the end of your comment “So yeah. Its men who are the whole problem. /s” belies your intent.

              Yeah pushing that women are worse drivers than men because of the 3 drivers you encountered is a brain dead take.
