Uber used as Pied-a-terre

[IARainman]

Hot couple carrying on a secret affair without a place to meet, turn to hiring the same uber every week to carry out their tryst in the back. Driver gets to watch as his tip.

Twist: it works well week after week, until the driver wants to participate. His advances are rebuffed. He blackmails the couple with threats of sending the secret videos he's been recording to their spouses.

I hope he has a SUV for their sake.

Reminds me of something similar that happened where I live: same taxi or uber got used for a state level politician when she was fucking people other than her husband (which apparently she did on at least a weekly basis).

Now the driver wasn’t trying to join in but then the representative started using the ole “family values” argument for abortion, anti LGBT laws, so the driver went public with all the affairs the “family values” rep had during her time in the capitol.

Talk about a story idea that's sexy until it's not

Maybe stick the story in the future and the blackmail is all done electronically. They have video from inside the auto-cab, although such things are illegal. The plot includes tracking down the blackmailer through the seedy underbelly of town and deal with him/her.

I see potential in your completely unrealistic idea. A story for the sci-fi section, but a story nonetheless.
Where can we take it from there? What happens after the driver goes public?

Or what if it’s an AI cab but the blackmailer IS the cab? So as the couple asks how that would even work, the seats turn around and technological tentacles sprout up

Unrealistic? It literally happened.

Maybe an attractive woman summons an uber, and choses the ride share option where she will be paired with someone else to share the ride. She choses destinations that might attract the kind of man (or men) she’s in the mood for… an expensive fancy bar when she wants an older businessman. A “meat market” when she’s in the mood to meet 2-3 young men headed out for a night on the town.

A driver catches on to her pattern and makes sure he’s positioned in her neighborhood most Friday and Saturday nights, even if that means losing out on a little revenue when he passes on otherwise profitable rides. Maybe he clues a friend or two in on it… who he texts at just the right time to summon a shared ride.
