Profile Photo
A Profile Photo is a required image that rideshare drivers must provide for rider safety and identification purposes. It appears in the rider's app when they book a ride, helping them identify their driver. This is different from a regular photo because it must meet specific company guidelines - usually requiring a clear, well-lit headshot with a plain background, no sunglasses, and the driver looking directly at the camera. Companies like Uber and Lyft use these photos as part of their safety and trust measures.
