      If Lyft and Uber upped their standards and upon receiving reports of drivers doing crap like what this driver did in making this woman feel very uncomfortable, they would have fired that person right immediately and deactivated his account. Instead, rideshare companies look at every driver as a revenue source for them and they don't really care about the passengers.

    I'm curious about Waymo's marketing strategy, which appears to involve partnering with women influencers to demonize man to promote their brand. However, I wonder if the added wait times for female passengers might offset any profit. Big win for both male and female ride share drivers.

      @@grunge_surf_witch_uk9130 right? Now that driver knows what you look like and where you spend some time in at least two locations. If they are bold enough to do some "unwanted flirting" it's not much of a stretch to say they aren't beyond waiting around and ambushing that woman too. It's clear that the OP has never been assaulted by a man and for that I'm grateful for them.

    I been an Uber driver for 9 years and I been married for over 20 years and guess what dear I been hit on by woman almost every week . Asking me to go with them hang out with them and they don’t care that I’m married .
    Just because someone tells you I know where you live and pushes to date you it doesn’t mean everyone is the same . I’m glad you’re helping Google share holders make more money that they don’t need keep it up . Will see where you end up when your car gets hack or go rogue !

    This is normal in the business world. Lyft and Uber had first-mover advantage and now other businesses are entering the market. It's to be expected. I think giving options and having diversity is a good thing. Waymo will improve their poor navigation, hopefully not injuring anyone and maybe they'll offer lower prices, and become a more dominant player in the market. Lyft is offering women only rides for women who want it. I know because I'm a Lyft driver. It's easy for people to judge and say negative things about how some women are afraid of men but you never know what someone has been through. Uber and Lyft took a while to meet customers needs based on the unwanted advances, uncomfortable rides, etc ...and Waymo saw a way in. Good for them.

Or it's trying to drop you at your bad break up boyfriend's house because when you were drunk you forgot you moved out last week? Those human helps wont be there.

      I mean, look at what happened a few weeks ago with a human Uber driver that ran a red light and got in to a serious crash with two people in the back. Both of the passengers have major injuries. They can't use their own car insurance to pay for the medical bills and Uber has them locked in to arbitration rather than allow them to bring a lawsuit because their minor child logged in to the family Uber account to order from Uber Eats and agreed to the new TOS.
      Honestly, I'll take my chances with a robot, thanks! 😊
