# init(phoneNumber:nameComponents:displayName:image:rating:)

Initializes and returns a ride driver object using a set of name components and other driver information.

```
init(phoneNumber: String, nameComponents: PersonNameComponents?, displayName: String?, image: INImage?, rating: String?)
```

## Parameters

`phoneNumber`

The driver’s phone number. The user should be able to contact the driver at this number to coordinate ride details.

`nameComponents`

The name of the driver, specified as a set of name components.

`displayName`

The name of the driver in a user-readable format. This string is displayed to the user by Siri or Maps.

`image`

A picture of the driver.

`rating`

The driver’s rating. Strings should be short and informative. For example, you might specify the string “Good” or a string containing Unicode star (★, ☆) characters.

## Return Value

An initialized driver object or `nil` if the object could not be created.

## Discussion

You can’t change the driver information after initialization, so specify as much information as you have.
