Uber will warn its drivers if they're speeding
Uber and safety are two words that can often sound like strange bedfellows depending on who you ask. The company famously refuses to issue basic safety checks to new drivers, with sometimes catastrophic results. Still, the firm is now rolling out an update to its driver-facing app that'll monitor their activity and advise on things that they're doing wrong. For instance, if a heavy-footed chauffeur is constantly edging the speed limit, they'll be warned, as well as receiving a log of excessive braking and acceleration events after the ride. The platform will also know if you're driving and holding your phone at the same time, issuing a reminder to keep it on the window mount. Finally, those who've been working extra-long hours will be advised to take a break before they become a danger to themselves and others.
