Uber is rolling out a safety update for riders in the UK that allows passengers to make audio recordings of their journey if they feel unsafe, according to reporting. The feature is designed to give riders an additional tool to document concerns during trips. The update is presented as part of Uber’s broader effort to improve passenger safety. While the reports focus on the new recording option, they indicate it is intended to support riders when they perceive a risk during a ride, rather than being limited to other safety workflows. The details of how and when passengers can activate the recording are not provided in the excerpts, but the change is described as available to “millions” of passengers in the UK. The reports do not mention any changes to driver-side capabilities or specific enforcement actions linked to recordings. Overall, the update centers on expanding the set of safety-related measures available to Uber users during journeys.
