Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US (www.uber.com)

When women riders and drivers told us they wanted more control over how they ride and earn, we listened. That feedback led to Women Preferences, features designed to give women the choice to ride with other women. Since our first pilots last summer, we’ve heard just how much that choice matters—from feeling more comfortable in the back seat to more confident behind the wheel.

Why's that interesting?

Are they going to be doing DNA tests? Pants checks?

It is ineresting because a man could pretend that he idetifies himself as a woman. What should a driver/passenged do in such a situation?

They both report it to Uber and Uber decides who's trolling. If the same passenger is being turned away by every driver, that passenger is probably a troll. And vice versa.
