IS RIDER SAFETY AT RISK WITH RIDE HAIL APPS DRIVER?
What do you know about Uber Driver, Lyft driver, or VIA driver? Are we turning into a society who values convenience over safety? Here are a few highlights from the Huffington Post Tech:
When it comes to legislation at all levels, ride hail apps are regarded as technology companies and not a taxi, limousine service, or livery service, thus the companies and drivers are not subjected to the same stringent legislation (license) as taxi companies and car services.
A recent report from the National Limousine Association (NLA) provided a snapshot of the terms and conditions from the top ride hailing apps, and they are terrifying to say the least.
- Uber: Uber does not guarantee the suitability, safety or ability of third party providers. By using the services, you acknowledge that you may be exposed to situations involving third party providers that are potentially unsafe, offensive, harmful to minors or otherwise objectionable, and that use of third party providers arranged or scheduled using the services is at your own risk and judgement
- Lyft: Users understand and accept that LYFT has no control over the identity or actions of the riders and drivers, and LYFT requests that users exercise caution and good judgement when using the services. Drivers and riders use the services at their own risk.
- VIA: You assume all risk associated with dealing with third party providers. You agree to resolve disputes directly with the other party. You release VIA of all claims, demands, and damages in disputes among users of the Service.
- Whisk: Whisk assumes no liability for any acts on the part of the driver.
These Ride Hail apps have clearly positioned themselves as mere brokers in a transaction they assume zero responsibility for. Many app users are not aware of the risk they are taking when they step inside these drivers cars.
