Food delivery giant UberEats has introduced new technology and safety gear in an effort to help it’s riders stay injury-free on Australian roads.

From Tuesday, Uber will roll out a new object recognition feature in its App to detect whether it's riders are wearing a helmet and will require them to meet a checklist of their bike’s roadworthiness.

Later this month UberEats employees are set to receive lights, reflective vests, bells and phone holders from the company.
