Wow, that’s some strong language! Having a bad day?
FYI Uber runs background checks and does in fact meet their drivers in person before hiring them. Further reading:
If someone is driving a car that looks exactly like 5,000 other cars, and someone hailed them anonymously, the driver can blend into traffic relatively easily after robbing the customer or whatever. Unless the customer has already paid with a credit card (which only happens at the end of the ride, at best) it’s a completely anonymous transaction. I’ve taken 100 yellow cabs in my life and I don’t remember a single one of the driver’s names. But I can get a list of every Lyft driver I’ve ever been driven by.
