Can't stress enough how important it is to make sure what you see in your app matches the car who says they are your driver. Drivers pic, make, model, and license plate is displayed in your app if it DONT MATCH DO NOT GET INTO THAT CAR! ALL SHOULD MATCH UP. One thing off dont take that chance dont get in that car. Better to be safe than sorry. You are also able to see the car pull up to you in the app. If you are unsure call your driver when he pulls up if their phone dont ring its not your driver. Text them a password if they cant give it to you its not your driver. Please be careful, especially female riders.

        Oops. Sorry. Thank you.

        And yes this is disturbing. Did this happen with taxis before Uber? I’m old enough but I can’t remember.

          That’s the thing about taxis. They’re clearly marked with the company name and often bright yellow!  You’d really have to be committed to kidnapping someone driving a marked taxicab. 

          This is why they’re trying to require Uber and Lyft drivers to have lit signs on their dash. The problem?  Anyone can buy them on eBay.

            I cant understand why Uber and Lyft didnt trademark their names. Although they dont care about anything but having an app and providing rides by self driven cars and taking over the transportation industry. However self driven cars are not coming as soon as they hoped. They realize this now and pissed that they still have to pay drivers. They just want to be a tech company nothing more. Uber could've made light up signs. Lyft has the amp. Now they have anyone/everyone making, selling, and buying these signs making it dangerous for riders.
