Uber's women-only option goes nationwide in the US

Uber is launching a feature that will allow both women riders and drivers across the U.S. to be matched with other women for trips, expanding a pilot program aimed at addressing concerns about the safety of its riding-hailing platform. The San Francisco-company's announcement Monday comes despite an ongoing class action lawsuit against the policy in California, filed by Uber drivers who argue that it is discriminatory against men.
