Transcript

This episode is brought to you by Uber. Did you know that Uber has a range of safety features, including in app audio recording? You can just turn it on in your safety settings with the option to record all your rides or just some of them. But the safety doesn't stop there. Uber requires every driver to pass a thorough background check before they can start driving. This consists of a multistep screening process that checks for impaired driving or criminal offenses, followed by annual background checks each and every year moving forward. In app audio recording and driver screenings are just a few of Uber's many safety features that put safety at every turn. Learn more at uber.com/safety. Annual driving history reruns do not apply in New York City.
