Taxi hailing firm Uber is rolling out a security feature that runs real-time security checks every time drivers go online, to protect their accounts from fraudsters and boost safety of riders using its service.

The new security feature requires drivers logging in to share their image, which is then verified against Uber’s records through advanced facial recognition technology.
