I think this is absolutely true; and you'd want to show drivers locations - I can't think of any way to obscure this, and it does leave a source for discrimination ("don't drive into the dangerous neighborhoods").

I'm not sure I have any good solution to that particular problem, but surely perfect is the enemy of good, and the human anonymization approach is reasonable low hanging fruit?

I'm betting the location thing alone would still keep 99% of the present discrimination.

At some point the question should probably change from

"How can we force Uber drivers to increase risk of losing well-being, wallet, and car in the name of fairness to customers?"

to

"Why are these neighborhoods/people/demographic so scary to working class citizens, and what can we do to fix it?"
