Now add a "Chatty Cathy" / "Leave me the fuck alone, don't worry I'll still give you a tip as long as we don't have to talk" option.
When you request a car you can add a message to the driver saying something like 'passenger is deaf/dead'.
That works sometimes.

Here in Europe we already have that, at least for comfort and above.
Came here expecting misogyny-adjacent comments.
...It met my expectations :/

This is a good thing if you ask most women
~~this argument can be applied to other situations.~~
~~Uber for whites only: "This is a good thing if you ask most white racists"~~
~~The gas chambers: "This is a good thing if you ask most Nazis"~~
~~Just to be clear, I disagree with both the above situations, I just think it's not a great argument.~~
~~Just to be clear 2: I also sympathise with women who feel uncomfortable being driven by a man.~~
Editing because I've thought about it and changed my mind.
My analogies are incorrect; A Nazi or Racist isn't the same a man or woman or a skin colour.
The real issue is, you can't speak for "most women" or "most men" or "most anything" without citing a source.
Building tools that simplify discrimination isn't a good thing (my opinion).
If you think this is justified because "men are dangerous" then you are
- generalising
- not realising that people are not evil (source Humankind by Rutger Bregman).
As a man, I want to EXCLUDE all women as potential clients. This is acceptable to articulate given the context, no?
