Uber will require everyone to wear masks starting Monday — and is using AI to enforce the rules

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.

If someone removes their mask mid-trip, or there are other issues, users can report offenders who may then be kicked off the app. Uber will require all drivers and riders to wear masks beginning Monday, May 18, the company announced Wednesday, in order to combat the spread of coronavirus as people begin to return to work.

Starting Monday, drivers in most of the world will be required to prove they are wearing a mask by uploading a photo through the app before logging on, Sachin Kansal, Uber's senior director of product management, told reporters. The new Uber policies are designed to be flexible, so that they can be implemented as needed depending on location and the current severity of the coronavirus outbreak, Kansal said.
