The Uber function which allows you to record the audio of the journey and share it with assistance in the event of accidents is also arriving in Italy.
A new function also arrives in Italy UBER which allows users to record and keep an audio track of the journey and, if necessary, share it directly via the app with the platform’s support systems. The new feature – we read in a note – is designed to offer passengers greater peace of mind and an additional way of accessing support directly via the app UBER.
In practice, the functionality offers passengers (rider) to record audio directly via the app UBER during a ride and choose whether to share the recording with UBER in the event of reporting a safety incident. A tool to strengthen serenity and confidence while traveling.
Uber activates the audio black box: the new function for recording trips arrives in Italy
Passengers decide whether to activate it or not and, even after activation, they can only record by manually pressing a button during the ride. Each recording is encrypted and securely saved on the passenger’s device, who cannot modify or share it externally.
UBERfor its part, can access the recordings only if sent by the user as part of a security-related report. All those not sent, however, are automatically deleted after 14 days.
“Safety is a top priority for UBER and we continue to invest in technologies that help rider to feel safer and more supported when traveling – he said Davide ArchettiGeneral Manager for Southern Europe of UBER – Whether it’s coming home after dinner with friends, leaving work late at night or traveling alone, Audio Recording offers passengers an additional level of peace of mind directly in the Uber app. Importantly, the feature has been designed with strong privacy safeguards, giving users greater control while supporting security investigations in the event of reports.”
