From now on, Uber drivers will start their shifts with selfies.
The ride-hailing company is expanding its Real-Time ID Check feature across the US, it announced in a blog post Friday. Drivers submit a selfie through the app to ensure the person driving the car matches Uber’s account on file.
The feature doesn’t connect to a background check or do anything else to ensure the underlying safety of Uber drivers. Instead, it just checks that the person in the car is the same one Uber has on file.
Drivers will be asked periodically to submit selfies before accepting rides, Uber said. The company uses Microsoft’s Cognitive Services API to compare the photo to one it has. If the photos don’t match, a driver’s account will be temporarily blocked. Read more…

The long-neglected PC got a massive injection of innovation this week with major announcements from Google, Apple and Microsoft.
Each company introduced advancements that users didn’t ask for, didn’t think they wanted and are already complaining about.
Why? Because we love new technology in theory but hate it in practice.
Technology change is expensive, transition is messy and people are creatures of habit.
We demand innovation, but resist it when it actually appears in our favorite product lines. That’s why only tech giants like Google, Apple and Microsoft can force the necessary change users want, but don’t know they want.
This was a huge week for forced innovation in PCs thanks to wildly divergent new products from Google, Apple and Microsoft.
