Uber Launches New 'Women Preferences' Safety Feature
Uber is introducing a new feature called 'Women Preferences' to make rides safer.
Women can now choose to ride with women drivers, and female drivers can choose to only pick up female riders.
This is based on feedback from women who wanted more control over their rides, especially late at night.
When requesting a ride, women can select the 'Women Drivers' option in the app.
The feature is currently being tested in a few cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit.
It is designed to make both riders and drivers feel more secure.
Uber is rolling out a new feature called 'Women Preferences' in select US cities.
