Smart Pickup Note
Riders can send a pickup note for the driver during ride booking. Drivers can view this note after accepting the ride to better understand the pickup location or instructions. Once the ride starts, the pickup instruction automatically disappears to keep the ride interface clean and focused.
Driver Identity Verification
Introduced face verification to ensure only authorized drivers can access the platform. This helps improve platform security and driver authenticity.
Admins can control when identity verification is required for drivers.
Drivers can be required to verify their identity during sign-up as part of the registration process.
Verification can also be triggered at intervals, where drivers must confirm their identity again after a set period of time.
Admins can choose when to trigger verification periodically within a specific time frame.
Verification can also be triggered when drivers switch from offline to online, where they must complete identity verification before going online.
