Is Uber as safe as riders are led to believe? On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor Dixon sits down with Will Hild, Executive Director of Consumers’ Research, to examine alarming allegations surrounding sexual assaults linked to rideshare services—particularly Uber—and the company’s internal handling of complaints.

The conversation breaks down a recent $8.5 million judgment against Uber, claims that assaults occur nearly every eight minutes, and reports suggesting drivers with multiple complaints were allowed to remain on the platform. Tudor and Will explore how corporate “wokeness,” DEI policies, and ESG priorities may be masking serious safety failures, while also discussing a California ballot initiative that could hold rideshare companies legally responsible for assaults committed during rides.

They also dive into Silicon Valley’s “move fast and break things” mentality, consumer trust, corporate accountability, and why public pressure—from Bud Light to Target—still matters. This is a must-listen episode for parents, rideshare users, and anyone concerned about consumer protection, corporate governance, and real-world safety.
