Uber is currently being sued by blind people in California for among other things that include refusing a ride because someone had a guide dog or drivers placing guide dogs in the car trunk. The company is fighting the lawsuit, insisting that accessibility laws do not apply to technology companies. a judge has dismissed Uber's claims and the lawsuit is going forward.
I often call my driver and inform him that I am blind shortly before he arrives. I ask the driver to look for me with my white cane and announce themselves or beep their horn so I can find their car and know they have arrived.
