If you are opting-in, you will be required to converse the PIN out loud to your driver prior to he/she can begin the ride.

Uber is even building a new technology, which utilizes ultrasound waves to mechanically verify you are in the right car, without any PIN. The rider’s phone is going to send this ultrasonic indication to the phone of the driver to confirm the exclusive PIN automatically. The organization has said that technology ought to be prepared to turn round before the end of 2019.
