“There might be a small portion of the population that doesn’t using ridesharing today because maybe they have those lingering doubts in their head late at night. And despite all the safety mechanisms we have in place those women simply may feel more comfortable with a female driver, so we think we’re going to be adding new riders to the population,” said Goldenberg.

The feature is currently only available for customers who select the premium and luxury classes.

Looks like a typical heterosexual couple to me, especially the guy on the left.

So what if some man calls the service claiming to be a woman? Will they have to pick him up? What if one of the drivers is a rapist dude with a wig? It’s not a bad idea, but I think it might not work out the way they think it will in liberal utopia Austin.

I saw this yesterday. My first thought was, how long until someone with a beard self-indentifies as a female.

Can they find female drivers who won’t talk on their phones as they drive?

I support this. But I also believe one should be able to specify a white, black, or Christian driver as well.
