Change at Uber Seeks to Increase Driver Safety by Requiring Passenger Identity Verification

If you thought Uber had done everything to surprise, get ready: the ride-hailing giant has just implemented a new ID rule for passengers, affecting millions of users across the country.

Uber is undoubtedly one of the most used platforms in Brazil. Its app-based transportation services are a lifesaver for those who need to get somewhere quickly. Always seeking improvements, the company recently announced a new ID rule for passengers, aimed at enhancing the safety of both drivers and users of the service.

Uber Officially Announced the Implementation of This New Rule

On the last 17th, Uber officially announced the implementation of this new rule. The idea is simple yet powerful: to help drivers identify who is requesting the ride through the app. This means that by verifying users’ identities, drivers will have more confidence that the passenger does not pose a risk to their safety.

Comparison: Uber or 99, Which is Better to Work For?

According to Portal Insights, when it comes to pay, Uber drivers have an advantage over 99 drivers. This is due to Uber being a more well-known company with a larger customer base. The platform offers drivers a higher percentage of the fare for each ride.

The Most Downloaded App in the World

As Uber implements its innovations, TikTok continues to reign in the app world. In 2023, it was the most downloaded mobile app globally, with an impressive 1 billion downloads across the App Store and Google Play. Since its official launch in 2016, TikTok has accumulated 5.17 billion downloads, with India leading in user numbers, followed by China, the USA, Indonesia, and Brazil.

A matéria estava indo muito bem, até o momento em que mentiram dizendo que a plataforma da Uber passa um percentual maior aos motoristas, sendo que a Uber é a que retém o maior percentual, ficando com uma média de 40% de casa viagem!!!

The Most Downloaded App in the World

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Tax reform: September is the deadline for 22 million companies under the Simples Nacional.

Road at 4,173 meters in Pakistan only opens 4 months a year.

The bulb does not need to be replaced: an accessory compatible with any type of socket is starting to arrive in Brazilian homes and transforms ordinary light points into smart lighting without breaking walls, without renovations, and without rewiring the electrical installation.

Artemis II astronauts reveal incredible experience 252,000 miles from Earth, praise NASA technology, but admit to a scary moment during high-speed reentry.

A study reveals that climbers who reach the summit of Everest breathe only 30% of the oxygen available at sea level and may return with atrophy of the cerebral cortex, concentration difficulties for weeks, and possible neurological damage associated with extreme altitude.

A brand that has been manufacturing motorcycles since 1901 launches its first electric model, and the price shocked the world: $3,000, weighing only 124 kg and accelerating from 0 to 60 km/h in 3.7 seconds…

Omoda & Jaecoo revolutionizes the electrified segment with the launch of a plug-in hybrid SUV priced below R$ 200,000 and a range of 1,200 km.

Elon Musk buys his own 1,279 Cybertrucks to boost weak sales of the pickup in the US.

Xiaomi (sim, a mobile phone) received 200,000 orders in 3 minutes for its electric SUV that travels 835 km on a single charge and costs less than a Tesla…

It costs around R$ 40,000, has a reliable Fire engine, and has been a sales success since its launch; see if it’s worth buying a used Fiat Punto in 2026.
