I've experienced racial violence. Can I filter out by race?

Good.
That will speed up adoption of driverless ride-hailing.

From my perspective, platforms could balance this by documenting ride assignments and providing transparency, so the legal risks are mitigated while women still feel secure.
What if I want only a female driver?
What if Mingo wants only drivers that are shorter than him?

These sorts of allowances in public accommodations (Title II of the Civil Rights Act) were put into effect when screwing over women was still cool, we never changed the law to include gender, so now the rabbit got the gun. White guys like myself wrote and promulgated laws that benefited them for centuries, and our forefathers didn't give much thought about how they would impact white guys when the rest of the country was the majority (together) and actually got a little power. So you have the whole chickens/roost and one's own petard hoisting kinda things going on.
Shut up libtard
People like you are the reason why America is a shithole now

I though they were independent contractors?

Where is the feature that allows us men to only select male drivers and skip out putting ourselves at the mercy of #metoo skanks?
This option would make the lawsuit go away and keep the petrified women happy.

I should have the option to chose a male driver. I want to eliminate any risk of a female driver wrongly accusing me of sexual harassment.

What would happen if one of these women is a lesbo and she sexually harasses the female rider?

I'll never understand why it's legal to charge us more for car insurance.
Already being discussed but I would add it would be fine as long as it were equally applied in other areas. That is, I would be fine with men paying more for automobile insurance if they paid less for health insurance. Because both were based on costs incurred by the insurance companies.
Advocacy groups worried about parity in the name of alleged equality successfully lobbied against women paying more for health insurance but did not have the same interest in the higher premium men pay for car insurance. Which is pretty much how our system has worked for a long time now

It’s wild how these gig companies try to play both sides of the fence with their policies. If a traditional taxi company tried this, they’d be shut down immediately by regulators. Taking on a giant like Lyft in civil court is no joke though. I was caught in a brutal corporate liability mess a few years ago (had to get the guys at Oberheiden involved just to stop the bleeding) and these massive companies will drag the discovery phase out for a decade if they can. The drivers better have serious patience to keep this alive.

It is discriminatory. What I wanna know is how this plays out concerning transformers. Also, if one group can select their driver's characteristics, all groups should be able to do so for all characteristics.
Here’s hoping. I’m a MLK content of your character kind of man, but people(and businesses)should absolutely be free to associate(or not) with whomever they so choose. Don’t like it? Don’t associate with them or patronize their business.

I get the grievance but I also get providing safety for female passengers. It should be limited to female passengers though, males shouldn’t be able to specifically limit to female drivers

No it isn’t. It might make you feel safer but it isn’t a safety measure for you more than it is for anyone else.

See it’s about feelings, not security.

I know there are laws against employee discrimination, but this is the client picking their driver. How is it any different than picking who cuts your hair?

Because the choice is only available to women and only goes one way, a man can’t say I don’t want a women driver…

Ah. Well just make it an option for both sexes and both parties.
Be prepared to wait longer if you are seeking female only passengers or drivers.
