> The thing is the Uber/Lyft model identifies both people.

In theory. I can't speak about Uber; but, with Lyft, I've seen husbands driving instead of their wife (and vice versa). According to some drivers, this is not uncommon. I had one driver who's name, according to the app, was "Google."

I've also had a number of drivers tell me that many riders don't have their picture on their account.

Yes, but the named person on the account will almost certainly know the identity of the person actually doing it. It's not anonymous.
