Ahuja phoned Lyft that night looking for answers. In that initial call, she says a representative told her this was something the ride-sharing company was piloting. But then about a week later after following up with Lyft she received a written message from a member of the company’s safety team which blamed the incident on the driver for recording her without her consent and said “proper actions” were taken against the driver.

Bullshit. You can’t take it back after admitting to it.

“This could have occurred either through an accidental phone call between the driver’s masked number and the rider’s masked number (i.e. a pocket dial) that went to voicemail, or an accidental recording of the audio from the ride that was then sent to the rider’s masked number via voice-to-text on driver’s phone,” said the statement.

Bullshit. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have a pin or biometrics to unlock their phone. Pocket dials only happen to people like Rudy Giuliani.
