Uber introduces Women Preferences, a new feature allowing female riders to request women drivers, piloting in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Detroit ...

Uber says the program which pairs female riders with female drivers was successful in other countries. It is coming to three U.S. cities first.

Uber announced a "Women's Preferences" on Wednesday that would allow women riders and drivers in the U.S. to only be connected with other women for their trips through the ride-sharing service.

Uber is piloting a new “Women Preferences” feature in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit, allowing women riders and drivers to choose same-gender matches for more safety and comfort.

Uber is getting ready to roll out a new safety feature that will allow women riders to request women drivers through the app as part of a pilot program in select cities, including San Francisco.
