Uber has launched new verified badges on consumer profiles and a new feature that lets drivers record trips from their smartphones.
Uber has launched new features in an effort to improve driver safety.Starting Wednesday, the app will feature “verified” rider badges which will signal to drivers that a customer has undergone additional verification steps. Riders who choose to get verified will have their account information checked against third party databases or have the option to upload an identification card like a license. Once the process is complete, riders will receive a verified badge.
Uber also launched a new “Record My Ride” feature that’ll allow drivers to record rides from the front-facing camera of their smartphones. This will replace the need for a dashboard camera to record audio and video of trips. After a successful pilot, the feature is now available nationwide in the U.S.
