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.

Anyone can break any law or regulation, doesnt mean that we give up laws and regulations.

And likely not. Most services already ask you about your gender (even like reddit or tumblr) so I assume that will suffice and we wont have "ID verifying gender"

Or maybe some conservative hack will propose ID verified gender, who knows.

    So the answer to someone breaking a law or regulation is… more laws and regulations?

    If someone is going to assault another human, they aren’t going to hit a “oh boy I better not lie to uber” roadblock…
