is the latest company to announce new face covering requirements that the company plans to enforce, in part, through new face detection technology., all Uber drivers and riders will be required to wear masks through the end of June.
Uber's Global Head of Safety Products Sachin Kansal demonstrated to ABC News how the new software in the app can determine whether a driver is wearing a face covering based on the photo. If a face covering is not detected, the driver cannot go online. Uber has developed new safety technology that the company says can detect whether or not a driver is wearing a face covering."This will work with any mask," Kansal told ABC News' Transportation Correspondent Gio Benitez."We have given tips to drivers on how they can create their own mask, and they can use a bandana. We want them to have anything that is approved by the CDC.
As passengers take what the company is calling their"second first trip" they will have to complete a checklist similar to drivers, but they will not need to take a photo of themselves wearing a face covering. Passengers must confirm that they are wearing a mask, agree to sit in the back and open windows for ventilation.
