Uber rolls out Record My Ride in India, raising questions over passenger consent

Uber has launched Record My Ride in India, letting drivers capture encrypted in-cab video during trips on their own phones. The app tells the passenger in the back seat that recording is on but never asks for consent , even as India’s data protection law makes consent a condition for processing personal data. Uber announced the feature at its Uber Surakshit safety conference in New Delhi on June 30, 2026, alongside ambulance assistance and rider-set trip PINs.
