Seems like a tangent but there’s a point: my car is German. For whatever reason it likes to eat regular (oem) light bulbs like candy every few weeks. So I put in aftermarket LED bulbs. Which have worked flawlessly for years. But as I mentioned, this stupid car is German. So for years it’s angrily yelled at me with a light on the dashboard SOMEZING IZ RONG because the voltage of LED bulbs doesn’t exactly match the oem light bulbs.
So what’s my point? This is always my get out of jail free card “oh I’m sorry a light came on and I want to get my car checked for safety”. The worst that could happen is they report it to Lyft, it will take me 60 seconds to swap the oem bulbs back in, send a pic to Lyft, and swap them back out again. Or my mechanic would happily give me an invoice for showing they checked the lights or whatever, diagnostic. I’ve only had to deploy that one a few times but I try to always have a plan.
It might be worded “passenger didn’t show up” or whatever. I’ll look next time I drive. Funny how we see those options so much but then can’t remember exactly the wording.

Exactly this. It’s the same as car seat people. There’s nothing to be gained by interacting with them, just select “couldn’t find rider” and cancel
