82. In 2017, we began improving messaging to riders and the public about ways to check
their ride. A key safety tip that we share with people encourages them to check that the
driver matches their profile photo and that the car make, model, and license plate
number match what’s in their app before getting into the vehicle.
83. Earlier this year, we built on this initiative by sending push notifications and in-app
reminders to riders before they started a trip. We are going a step further and will begin
offering riders the option to verify their ride with a unique, 4-digit PIN they can verbally
provide to their driver before they enter the vehicle. The driver must enter this 4-digit PIN
into their app in order to start the trip. This helps riders ensure that they’re getting into
the right car, and it helps drivers ensure that they’re picking up the right rider.
