Driven by the demand for cost-saving and environmentally-friendly, the ridesharing market was valued at USD 73.07 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 209.60 billion by 2025. So people, Uber and Lyft are here to stay and we can only expect to see more ridesharing companies pop up around the world in the next year or so, and more people signing on to be rideshare drivers. And rideshare is not only shaping the way we get around, it's also changing the way we get food. Ever had a craving for late night McDonald's but don't have a car to pick it up? With Uber Eats, you can have a couple of burgers and a milkshake delivered right to your door.
As we have stressed in our earlier posts, whether you drive for rideshare as a side-hustle or a full-time gig, you need to protect yourself and your car with a dash cam. Every rideshare driver should have a dash cam - everyone (driver, passengers and fellow motorists) can benefit from the safety, security, and peace of mind that the dash cam brings.
And we get asked quite a bit, “What is the best dash cam system for a rideshare?” The simplest answer is a 2-channel IR dash cam, like the DR900S-2CH IR or the VIOFO A129 Duo IR. But what if you want more coverage? After all, rear-end collisions account for a large portion of all traffic accidents. Having a clear rear-facing camera adds another angle to your dash cam defense system.
