We're going to fix it for you.

It was one of these examples of 20-something tech bros who don't have certain fears because it's not been part of their experience, just not thinking it through.
You know, it's like, oh, like...
That never occurred to me that people would be afraid about that because I'm not.
You know, you think about like for my mom, she was very nervous about Uber for a long time.
And it was actually reassuring to her to learn it's GPS, like your phone is on GPS.
Uber knows where you are every second of the journey.
The driver knows that Uber knows where you are.
Like, they can't just drive off with you and dump you off in the woods somewhere because it's all going to be tracked.
Your phone's tracking and so on.
Oh, I hadn't thought of that.
Oh, and by the way, like, Uber does vet the drivers.
Like, you don't just sort of sign up on the app and start driving.
Like, they actually check into you a bit and things like that.
Oh, okay, great.
