Talking to drivers that drive for both companies, Lyft is much better for the customer. Lyft will check with the customer if everything is ok if a trip is taking more time than it seems like it should. They will also rate a driver's driving habits and effectively coach them to drive in a safer, more passenger friendly way - like how they merge on and off freeways
I've had only one bad experience with a Lyft driver—he picked up the wrong passenger and failed to correct his error when he had the chance. Lyft was very apologetic and compensated me for the screw-up.
From the news reports it seems like using Uber is like playing Russian roulette.
I was a doubter... but post having ridden in one, and then paying attention to their safety issues/record... I'm coming around to the idea that Waymo is better than Lyft/Uber. They still get caught in some strange scenarios...but the quality of the service is higher.
I wondered about that and I assume Waymo is available to pick you up in less savory neighborhoods.

Unsanitary Conditions: Workers at one of the nationâs largest baby formula plants say the Abbott Laboratories facility is engaging in unsanitary practices.
Cardboard Funnel: In one case, workers said an employee used a piece of cardboard from a trash bin to funnel coconut oil, a formula ingredient, into a tank during production.
Federal Response: One worker complained to the FDA, but itâs unclear how the agency will respond. The Trump administration recently cut 3,500 jobs at the FDA in a mass layoff.
"Boss politics" are a feature of corrupt societies. When a society is dominated by self-dealing, corrupt institutions, strongman leaders can seize control by appealing to the public's fury and desperation. Then, the boss can selectively punish corrupt entities that oppose him, and since everyone is corrupt, these will be valid prosecutions.
In other words, it's possible to corruptly enforce the law against the guilty. This is just a matter of enforcement priorities: in a legitimate state, enforcers prioritize the wrongdoers who are harming the public the most. Under boss politics, priority is given to the corrupt entities that challenge the boss's power, without regard to whether these lawbreakers are the worst offenders. Meanwhile, worse wrongdoers walk free, provided that they line up behind the boss. (...)
Trump is a classic boss politician â that's what people mean when they call him "transactional": he doesn't act out of principle, he acts out of self interest. The people who give him the most get the most back from him. This means that Biden's brightest legacy â militant antitrust enforcement of a type not seen in generations â is now going to become "boss antitrust," where genuine monopolists are attacked under antitrust law, but only if they oppose Trump: (...)
The Federal Trade Commission has lost its Biden-era chair, the extraordinary Lina Khan, who did more in four years than all her predecessors did in the preceding forty years, combined. The new chair is Republican Andrew Ferguson, whose first day on the job was a bloodbath, in which he killed off multiple, significant actions aimed at producing real, material benefits from Americans who are being absolutely screwed by corporations: (...)
