Rideshare drivers have been asking for better safety features to better protect them against carjackings and assaults.

In an effort to make ride hailing safer and easier, Uber announced a new verification feature aimed at giving drivers more information about who is getting in their car. Starting Wednesday, passengers will have their account information checked against third-party databases or have the option to upload an ID.

After going through a background check, verified users will have a blue checkmark on their account and may even experience priority pickup.

Once a rider opts in, Uber will cross-check their information against third-party databases to help drivers avoid scams or harmful behavior.
