Moms say, “What an impactful claim! Keep it up!” It’s almost the holidays, so that means more movement for people either internationally or domestically. So, Honda, the leading car company headquartered in Japan, is making sure that rides will be safe, in collaboration with Uber Eats. Here’s the scoop.
Honda is currently conducting a pilot program with Uber Eats in Japan to guarantee the safety of motorcycle delivery riders. The automobile company is to provide a mobile-based app capable of diagnosing riding behavior to 1,500 delivery riders across this East Asian country, evaluating acceleration, braking, and cornering speeds.
Those riders who go over benchmark scores are to receive additional payment to incentivize safe riding. They are invited to take part in Honda’s aim to achieve zero-traffic-collision-deaths involving its motorcycles and cars by, get this 2050. Honda is also offering the app to passengers, in general.
“This demonstration testing will be conducted as part of the ‘Uber Eats Safe Driving Campaign,’ organized by Uber Eats Japan for its motorcycle delivery partners. By combining the visualized results of an app-based riding behavior assessment with Uber’s unique incentive program, the two companies will verify the effectiveness of the assessment and the incentives in enhancing safety awareness and improving the riding behavior of Uber motorcycle delivery partners,” said Honda in their official statement.
So, that confirms what ridesharing media has brought up. This program is to run until September 28th. Here’s how it will work. This app, to be named “Motorcycle Safe Driving Diagnostic App,” developed by Honda themselves, could be utilized by any mobile gadget, regardless of the motorcycle engine displacement or manufacturer.
Once users launch the app, the rider starts riding as the app diagnoses and study the appropriate-ness of the handlebar, throttle, and brake operations. In other words, you don’t have to do everything yourself.
Then, riders can review the scores from the evaluation from each category, then track changes after each ride.
The big car company has also incorporated adjustments to minimize the variations in diagnostic results across different mobile device models.
In addition to vehicle data held by Honda, the algorithm also incorporates riding data from professional instructor riders.
“In November 2025 and June 2026, the two companies conducted online safe riding seminars exclusively for motorcycle delivery partners of Uber Eats in Japan. In these online seminars, an instructor from Honda Traffic Education Center served as a trainer and provided risk prediction training based on real-world delivery service scenarios, covering various situations such as urban riding and collision risks under different weather conditions and at different times of day. The two companies plan to continue offering this seminar in Japan,” Honda told RSF as well. Give those congratulatory messages to these two companies, and show off that luster! Make your hardwork count!
