Uber has introduced new hours policy for its driver-partners across Sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria, to help enhance driver and passenger safety.
Drowsy driving is an issue for all who share the road and Uber said it is committed to doing its part to prevent drowsy driving.
With this new feature, which started from last Monday, Uber would launch a feature across the country that prompts drivers to go offline for six hours after 12 hours of driving. Drivers, who do not take a long enough break, will not be able to log into the app and take trips before that period expires.
Uber already has features like an in-app notification that reminds drivers to take a break when feeling tired on the road and advises drivers with their Community Guidelines to take breaks if they are feeling tired. The new driving hours policy is an additional feature that will help improve safety on the roads.
