What they (Google maps too) need to do is mark dodgy areas in order for the driver to avoid them. For example, I once took an Uber from Fourways to Newtown. We ended up driving through Hillbrow around 11:00pm...

Messages in the app informing drivers that mounting their phone on the dashboard is safer than holding it.

The last few ubers I have been in the take their phones off the dash and keep it low, I'm told this is because taxi drivers see the phones and target them :erm:
