Uber have today announced new safety features for passengers and drivers in more than 40 cities and towns across the UK. A “safety toolkit” will now give riders and drivers easy access to a number of features including an option to share live trip details to up to five trusted friends or family members. There is also an Emergency Assistance Button which will give riders the ability to contact local authorities directly through the app. Drivers will gain access to an “Insurance Hub” which puts all insurance details in one place so they can easily access documents such as proof of insurance and information about coverage whether they are on or off a trip. According to a report in the Evening Standard, riders can also access their details about their Uber drivers licence and DBS checks. You can access the full details of Uber’s new toolkit in their online newsroom.
