Riders will now be able to make audio recordings of their journey through the Uber app if they feel unsafe. Users can activate the feature either before or during the trip and start recording at any point with the press of a button. The recording will be encrypted and secured on the user's device and will be only made accessible to Uber if they are uploaded as part of a safety report. While the recording remains locked, no one - including the driver and the passenger - will be able to listen to it.

Court documents sum up its claim: Plaintiffs argue that carrying a large ax to a suburban condo at night, while intoxicated and acting strangely' is enough to indicate to a reasonable person that a crime was in progress, and that more than simply doing nothing, Lyft through their assigned driver, furthered the progression of the crime by chauffeuring the murder[er] to his intended victim.'
