Uber is launching new safety features allowing drivers to see 'verified' badges on rider profiles and to record audio and video during trips using their smartphones, moving away from dashcams. This initiative aims to enhance driver safety and follows a report indicating a high percentage of safety incidents involving riders and drivers. With these changes, drivers will be able to verify rider identities during trip requests and securely store recordings. A pilot program has shown reduced complaints about verified riders.
