In another step aimed at making ride-hailing a completely safe and secure experience for its users in Qatar and all its markets, Careem, the ride-hailing app, yesterday announced the integration of facial technology to its technological framework to set a new benchmark in passenger safety.
Powered by Digital Barriers, a leading provider of intelligent security solutions across the globe, the backend biometric identification system enables Careem to confirm its Captains’ identity in real-time, eliminating all risks associated with fraudulent car ownership and possession. Secured by a robust verification process that validates every Captain’s identity with their assigned car, users are assured of being in safe hands at all times, with the technology providing Careem with round-the-clock Captain authentication capabilities.
Magnus Olsson, Co-founder and Chief Xperience Officer at Careem, said: “In our efforts to simplify people’s lives in the region, safety plays an unprecedented role and the integration of Digital Barriers’ facial technology will further bolster the confidence and faith our users have in the Careem brand.”
