Chinese ride-sharing giant Didi Chuxing said on Wednesday that it has permanently banned a female passenger who was drunk and sexually harassed a male driver while riding with Didi, which has been widely reported in recent days.
Didi said that the order took place in the early hours of August 22, when its Turing system recognized that the order had high-risk characteristics, such as an abnormally long layover, and that Didi's safety experts were able to timely identify and intervene.
Didi said they contacted the female passenger and the driver separately to stop the harassment. "Didi also called on drivers and passengers to respect each other and raise safety awareness, especially when traveling under the influence of alcohol.”
Here is an automatic translation of Didi’s Weibo post:
Previous media reports said that a ride-sharing driver in Kunming, Yunnan province, encountered this embarrassing incident. In the early hours of that morning, a female passenger took a ride after drinking and began to harass the driver after his companion got off the car, and offered to give him 100 yuan as compensation.
Fortunately, the car-sharing platform found the vehicle to be abnormally stuck and promptly "rescued" him, the report said.
Didi said to have support for HarmonyOS 2.0, allowing users to hail cabs via watch
