Why Ride-Hailing Is Not as Safe as You Think
By badger – August 11, 2025
*** begin quote ***
Even with driver photos and license details, identity fraud is possible. Some drivers rent accounts or share them illegally. That raises big safety questions. Safety becomes an illusion when systems are not properly enforced. You might not know who is actually behind the wheel. This illusion affects both riders and drivers alike. When safety is marketed more than it is practiced, everyone loses in the end.
*** end quote ***
I know that Uber has updated their app with a code you give the driver and you get a photo of the driver. I thought that would be enough.
BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), the “renting” and “sharing” of accounts shows a monkey wrench into their system.
Maybe they should require you to take a picture of the driver that then Uber can use AI to confirm who’s really driving?
