A lot of women want it along with the ability to order Uber/Lyft from women drivers only.

Fair point, Uber has a female driver mode now.

Doesn’t change my desire for better public transport though.

What about race or religious preference too?

Yeah, if its OK to discriminate on the basis of the immutable characteristics of the Gender class, it should be OK to discriminate based on other characteristics as well.

Its very bigoted and regressive that you can be charged a 'cover' just because you have the wrong genitalia and belong to the wrong gender. I don't see how that's any better then charging a cover because someone has the 'wrong' skin color.

Of course, we have very bigoted courts here in the US that consistently rule to discriminate against men. I promise you if people respond to this comment it will be to argue how discrimination against men is justified and should continue.

That's a very different problem that probably has a generational timetable.

Letting women get home safely with a robot driver is a thing that can happen today.

		Surveilling on women without their knowledge and then using that footage as you like is dangerous too. Tech companies are famous for their ethics. Letting women get into a cab controlled by an overseas driver seems dangerous too. Lets not hide profits behind women's safety.

		Not today. Not next year, either. And calling taxi service that dangerous is an exageration. Preference enhanced by that type of comments would be more accurate
