Uber lets you enable a PIN for each ride. The driver can't say they picked you up until they punch in the random 4 digit PIN the app gave you for the ride.

It's not unusual to call a taxi for another person. Or to make a multi-stop journey where some people get out before others. You can even send a parcel across town in a taxi.
Checking phone proximity might be helpful in some cases, but it's not a silver bullet.
Too many people order Ubers for other people so it won’t work.
I don’t know why they don’t require it. Every Uber in Porto Rico uses the PIN but I’ve only had one in the mainland USA ask for it.
This is good, but why can't these firms determine when your phone and the drivers phone are far apart?
