Uber's guidelines specifically states drivers "keep conversations casual and friendly with customers, riders, restaurants, and one another. Don't ask personal questions or act aggressively toward others."
Drivers and riders are encouraged to "treat your fellow Uber app users as you would like to be treated yourself: with respect."
"Don't touch strangers or anyone you just met while using any of Uber's apps. Hitting, hurting, or otherwise intending to hurt anyone is never allowed," is also a top rule on the website.
