This is terrifying.

The numbers tell the story. The report covers the 2.3 billion rides that happened in the U.S. in 2017 and 2018 and makes public the numbers for three types of incidents: motor vehicle fatalities, fatal physical assaults, and sexual assaults. Khosrowshahi said 99.9% of all Uber rides in the U.S. in 2017 and 2018 ended without an issue. A small number resulted in a safety-related incident, and just 0.0003% of all the trips—or around 6,900 trips—resulted in a reported sexual assault.

The numbers for fatalities and physical assaults were much lower. The report says there were a total of 97 fatal crash reports and 107 total fatalities reported in 2017 and 2018. Given the number of Uber rides conducted in this time, Uber says that’s about half the national rate. Of the 19 fatal physical assaults included in the report, eight were Uber riders, seven were drivers, and four were third-party individuals.
