Two US senators are introducing a bill that would require ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft to inform passengers if their drivers are using dashcams to record them. The legislation aims to give customers the option to choose a different driver if they prefer not to ride with a driver using a recording device. Uber and Lyft drivers have increasingly been using dashcams for safety and dispute resolution, but the introduction of such surveillance has raised privacy concerns. The bill needs to go through a Senate committee before a full Senate vote, marking the first federal attempt to regulate the use of dashcams in ride-hailing services.
