Rideshare services introduce a distinctive environment that, unfortunately, can be exploited by predators. Since rideshare drivers operate as independent contractors, they aren’t subject to the same regulatory or licensing standards as traditional taxi services. This regulatory distinction, coupled with the absence of safety features in personal vehicles used by rideshare drivers, potentially heightens the risks of assaults within the rideshare industry. Additionally, the prevalent perception of ridesharing as a secure alternative for individuals impaired by intoxication further contributes to the risk. This misconception, along with features like carpooling that bring together unfamiliar passengers, significantly amplifies the occurrence of assaults. Newly available data has illuminated the extent of these challenges. Between 2017 and 2018, Uber disclosed nearly 6,000 cases of sexual assault. Although passengers make up the majority of victims, drivers, especially female drivers, are also susceptible. While Lyft has not made comparable data public, reports from the media and court documents suggest parallel patterns within its operations.
