After a college student was killed mistaking a car for an Uber, some tips on how to ride-share safely:
"It's certainly up to each individual driver how they're going to operate. We're not employers. We're contractors who use their service," Bourdius said. "From my perspective as both a driver and a rider, I think the services do take safety seriously and try and provide methods and tools to help with safety."
For extra privacy, Uber suggests putting your pickup and/or drop-off destination as cross streets so your exact address is not revealed. Steve Gomez, security consultant and news contributor for ABC News, said he goes an extra step and loads the address of his destination into the GPS on his phone so he can watch the route the driver is taking. If there is a problem, the rider can question the driver, call 911 or just get out of the car.
