In 2020, Uber implemented audio recording to protect the driver and user in the event of an incident. This led to tests for video recording beginning in 2023. Now, It has been revealed that this addition has already been implemented throughout Mexico.
This tool, which has been called “encrypted video recording,” It uses the front camera of the driver’s smartphone to record the interior of the vehicle at all times. The material is only sent if there is a report and the driving partner decides to attach it. In the event of a complaint, the Uber support team may access this material in accordance with its rules.
If you do not make a complaint, the video will remain encrypted, and no one will be able to access it. Thanks to the fact that the recordings are carried out through the driver’s mobile device, This does not represent an additional expense. However, at the moment the minimum requirements that the driver must meet for the recordings, or the state in which the car must be, are unknown.
Along with this, every time a trip is recorded, the user will receive a message stating that their trip can be recorded. For now It is unknown if the user will be punished in any way if they decide to cancel when this information is made known.. Regardless of the details, Uber assures that this is a measure that will help everyone’s safety. On related issues, the head of government attacks Uber. Likewise, they seek to ensure that there are no more Uber partners.
Author’s Note:
This is a controversial measure. While there is a positive focus on videotaping trips, some people are not entirely happy about being videotaped, regardless of whether they do something bad or not.
