Step 0: Be the sort of scum that would assault a lyft driver
Step 1: Set your identity to non binary as a rider
Step 2: Dress in a way to appear non-binary, even a little bit. Honestly just painting your nails purple and wearing thick glasses is probably enough to not raise suspicion. Most people wont try and question this and interrogate you over it. If they do, filter them off and be a normal rider.
Step 3: If they don't question it, congrats, Lyft has no just done the work of assisting you with finding your next victim, great job Lyft!

So people who haven't been doing that already are going to suddenly go out of their way using steps that will show obvious intent during future prosecution?
"Already" It's a new feature, so no one is doing it already.
They haven't been abusing drivers already.
Yes, targeting could conceivably make it easier but it was already possible.
