> 5. The norm is now a little bit riskier, because the people who engage in it are now disproportionately antisocial.

Which is odd, really, considering it's literally ride-SHARING. It's far more social to hop in someone's car than to stand alone on the roadside.

Sure but its ride sharing with random strangers.

Uber says the person's name, has their phone number, their car with make & model, license plate number, etc. If something happens there is a way to track down who / what / where / when.

Plus the riders also have a score. You know each other, sort of. Just like the drivers there is an account, a name, a phone number.

With hitching neither side has any idea what they're getting. Probably alright, probably not too weird -- but you have no way of knowing.
