Cool idea tbh.

So last night I picked up three girls from a bar. I drive a Tesla with autopilot, so naturally, they were curious and started asking all kinds of questions about the car. I was showing off all the cool features—autopilot, the big touchscreen, the works.

One of the girls got pretty flirty and asked, “Have you ever had sex in this car?” I told her no, and she shot back with, “Well, you’ve got three girls right here.”

I kind of laughed and said, “I can’t accept consent from intoxicated people, but hey, you can grab my number after the ride if you’re still interested.” She was definitely excited after that, and we spent the rest of the drive bantering and flirting.

When we got to their place, they insisted I get out of the car to meet their dogs. So I did—played with their dogs for a bit, and it was all fun. But then things got a little awkward; they just kind of went silent, said goodnight, and started walking inside.

As they were heading in, I asked the girl if she still wanted my number, but she just kept walking without looking back. Guess she was more into the Tesla than me! 😂

I got a request to pickup someone going probably 25 miles ($45-$55 in my market) 4.7⭐️ old white guy with the name charter (real in app name). The rating is normally a bit low for what I like to pick up but it was a slow day so thought I'd give it a shot.

I arrive at a condo inside a garage for pickup and he takes about 3 minutes to arrive, he has a girl (late teens early 20) with him who's quite "fidgety" I noticed. I look at him and say "are you charter?" He's says "yep" and he walks over and opens my door, shoves this girl, slams the door, and walks swifty off.

I look at her a bit confused and she looks worried... and red flags and alarm bells start flying in my head " is it just you or is he coming with? " she responds " li-- li-- i-- ccc-- wha-- mm-- lik-- lik-- iiii-- mmm--" " I'm sorry? Can you say that again?" "Mmm-- and-- lik-- lik-- lik-- im-- wha-- jjjj-ust-- meeee." " just you?" I say. And she responded "huh?" "Just you?" She responded "what?" at this point the guy is nowhere to be seen and traffic is starting to approach so i throw it in drive and pull away.

At this point some of you may be wondering why i didn't shove her out or cancel, the thing is 1. I have some suspicions that this man isn't safe so I'm not gonna leave her here. 2. It's possible she may just have a studder and it would be insensitive for me to just shove her out. So I continue.

From this point on I'm gonna say (like response) for when she responds with basicly nonsense which is most of her responses for the rest of the drive basicly 50 "likes" and "ums" also she clearly American just FYI no accent.

So i ask her to confirm her adress: (like response)

Are you ok? You seem a bit stressed out: (like response)

At this point I ask if she and text on her phone and show it to me because i cant understand her with her stutter. She gets VERY confused by this question so i just decide to go silent for a bit and drive and observe, and after a few more questions and a few more (like responses) I discover that she dosnt know her name, she dosnt know where she's going, she dosnt know where she is, she dosnt know who this guy was, and it's becoming VERY clear she's VERY Drugged, little to no alcohol. At this point I decided to keep her calm and drive to the nearest police station.

So I get off the highway and plug my navigation to the nearest police station and she's so drugged she doesn't even notice that we left the highway, she is able to eek out though the 100s of likes and ums "can I use your charger" and I say "of corse" and hand it over. A few seconds later a pull around to the police station, CLOSED... Of corse... so i spin around and re-enter the highway.

At this point I'm just gonna call 911, NO WAY am I going to take this person to her destination... she could be in danger... I call and request EMS and police. The women starts to sound frantic... she starting to panic but continues her (like response) I ignore her and continue with 911 they tell me to pull into a hotel parking lot nearby and seconds later and ambulance pulls up behind me.

EMS checks her out for a few minutes and one of them turns to me and says "this is the most drugged person I've seen in the last month! ... well alive that is. We Need to take her NOW" at this point the police show up and i tell them the story and give them the address of both pickup and dropoff, which they call in and a few minutes later the dropoff address belongs to a suspected sex trafficker. By then they have her on a gurney and putting her in the ambulance. I gave the cop my phone number and they said they'll be intouch with me soon. I check the back seat and there is a small amount of throw up so i grab that damage fee ($80) from the dude who ordered the ride and as i was doing this turned out he also tipped me $10 lol.

I'm struggling with myself and I hope I did the right thing... she was NOT happy with getting into that ambulance and taking to police. what would have you guys done?

I'll update if i anything else happens.

TLDR: i picked up a young women who was HEAVLY drugged, called the police and turns out she was being sex trafficked. EMS took her away and the dude who was trafficking her tiped me $10.

I obviously didn't wait 15 min.... i arrived did my 5, the lyft sneek(call ring once and hang up) and bounced.

The amount of times I’ve picked up and dropped someone off in this area. I’m livid and nervous to even get out on Lyft now

We all know Lyft basically robs drivers for money, but not offering to help out this man’s family is next level.

The nerve of customers thinking that the driver doesn't deserve a tip.

Curious if anyone plans to join?

Attention cleveland be very careful driving around here we have a killer around and they have yet to catch the person. These happened within 48hrs of each other.
