Has anyone worked out what the base rate expectation of murder would be?
I think I read in the FT that Didi has booked a few billion rides in that period. How many people (and women) would normally be murdered in cabs?
The stories cited are obviously horrific and it sounds like Didi could have prevented them with a better system. But, I'd nonetheless be interested to know how safe this is to the alternative, and also how many murders we would expect in a few billion human interactions.
At that scale all our intuitions are off and we need to look at stats.
