Uber has introduced new safety initiatives in India, including an audio recording feature on its app and a "Women Rider Preference" option during late-night rides. The audio recording feature allows riders to record trips if they feel unsafe or uncomfortable, with the recordings being encrypted and only accessible if submitted as part of a safety report. The Women Rider Preference feature allows female drivers to accept rides only from female riders during late-night hours. Uber has also partnered with a NGO dedicated to promoting gender equity and safety. Riders can customize their safety settings through the Safety Preferences option, including automatically sharing trip details with trusted contacts.
