Uber is offering riders a four-digit pin code to help ensure they're getting into the right car.
News headlines today: Jan. 7, 2020The ride-hailing company rolled out the new feature across the U.S. and Canada Tuesday and said all riders in those two countries will be able to use pin codes by the end of the week.
“They can see the confirmation before getting into the vehicle and they don't have to take the driver's word for it," said Rebecca Payne, senior product manager at Uber, who helped develop the feature. Riders can choose whether or not to use Uber's new pin code feature, or they can choose to use it only at night. Ride-hailing companies that cater to children have long used four-digit pin codes to help parents ensure their children are getting into the right car.
