Honda Wants To Score How Safely Uber Eats Couriers Ride. Our Dystopian World Continues

If you’ve ever wondered whether your phone could judge your riding, Honda would apparently like to have a word. The company is teaming up with Uber Eats Japan for a September 2026 trial of a smartphone-based motorcycle safety assessment app that monitors how delivery riders behave on the road. The twist is that their riding won’t just be analyzed. It’ll be scored, ranked, and potentially tied to incentives.

Participating Uber Eats couriers will run Honda’s app in the background while making deliveries. Honda says it can analyze individual riding inputs such as acceleration, braking, and steering, then turn them into a safe-riding score. The idea is to make habits visible that riders might not notice themselves, which is a reasonable goal, all things considered.
