Overview
- Select drivers and couriers who opt in will see short “Digital Tasks” in the Driver app, with examples including recording audio, uploading images, and submitting documents in various languages.
- Uber says tasks cannot be done while driving, show time and pay estimates up front, and typically pay out within 24 hours after completion.
- The company says data from these tasks will not be used for its autonomous-vehicle programs, and client details for AI projects will not be disclosed.
- The rollout begins later this year as a limited U.S. pilot, with Uber indicating potential expansion based on demand and participation.
- Announced at the Only on Uber event, the initiative arrives alongside driver-app updates such as expanded Women Rider Preferences, a new demand heatmap, and a delayed ride guarantee.
