Has this ever actually happened to anyone? I don't see how it could, the dricer confirms where you are going when you get in the car and also your name. And then the app also shows you that your trip has started.

I always check the license plate because I'm really bad at remembering car models and stuff. So far, has been working

I think I heard a story like this on This American Life. Story was from the perspective of the driver. He thought he was picking up his Grindr date and realized after a short while he was wrong. Kept up the act, even made up a whole backstory about why he was an Uber driver.
