Uber brings safety selfies to the US
Uber's security chief is worried about safety on Uber rides, specifically about making sure that your driver is who they say they are. That's why Joe Sullivan has announced that the firm is bringing its Real-Time ID Check to the US so that he can be sure your Uber driver is legit. Essentially, while a driver is out and about, their phone will sporadically pipe up and ask them to take a selfie that can then be compared to the one on file. Should it not match, their account will be temporarily suspended and an operative will "look into the situation."
