If you use Uber frequently, we are convinced that on more than one occasion you will have tried get in the wrong car. Sometimes it is difficult to identify a driver (especially when their license plate does not appear in the application) and we try to get into private cars or Ubers that are not ours. A really uncomfortable situation, especially if one day you open the door of a car, thinking that it is your Uber, and inside you find Gearard Butler making out with a girl (yes, it can happen).
It is a situation that Uber users experience every day and the company has finally found the ideal solution: putting LEDs in drivers' vehicles. With this new tool, when the customer requests an Uber will have the possibility to select a color for your driver. When the driver arrives at the pick-up point, the LED will light up in the color selected by the user so that he can easily find his car. The LED will be located on the front of the vehicle.
If the driver does not see you, you can press on the screen so that it lights up in the same color and give signals.
From now on, the union between driver and passenger will be easier. So no more awkward confusion or crazy moments when multiple Ubers arrive at the same time and no you know exactly which one is yourso.
The LEDs have already been deployed in Seattle and they will soon begin to expand to other cities, if the experiment goes well.
I find it painful that you advertise a company that is illegal in Spain and in many European countries, and perhaps many people do not care that in this country families of 100.000 or even more taxi drivers are at stake because of uber, because here people are selfish and only worry about oneself ...
In the Dominican Republic Uber is illegal too. It does not pay taxes, much less is it incorporated as a company. And I agree, you shouldn't promote a company that only causes problems for hundreds of thousands of families.
Here in Mexico, illegal or not, it is a thousand times superior to the traditional service and CHEAPER! We prefer uber!
Well, here in Mexico it is legal and it is very useful to me with the insecurity with some taxis. And it is a problem sometimes to identify the Ivet you ordered.
Directed to the first two comments and the next ones that follow that message:
Users, ordinary people, do not have to save our pockets and pay the ABUSIVE prices of a Taxi, being able to opt for a more well organized and cheap option such as Uber (organized I say payments with mobile, calls with app, etc ...).
That the laws of the country make taxi drivers have to charge so much is not our problem, I can sympathize with a taxi driver who lives off it and has no choice but to charge that (I want to believe that they charge those prices because they have no other choice), however I am not going to pay triple for it, taking a taxi in Spain is usually the last option, the one you take when there is no other option, and with Uber that can change.
I am sorry if sincerity hurts or offends, but as a person who receives and lives on a salary too, I must look into my pocket, and not that of others, and that Spain considers an initiative such as illegal Uber is a mistake, and it is precisely because of This is why it should be used more, so that the laws change and taxi drivers can be at the same level, not that the price of Uber goes up, but that the price of taxis goes down (be it cheaper licenses or taxes), and if Some taxi driver has a problem with that, he has two options:
1. Keep kicking hoping that people will pay triple to do what he considers "right."
2. Become an Uber driver.
If Uber had to pay the same tax that taxi drivers pay, it would surely not be able to maintain prices. If a person by the mere fact of having a car can be put to work as a taxi driver, without the obligations that they have, in this country no one would pay taxes, which would go to us. As I have my house and I know how to cook, I am going to start giving people meals. I already have a restaurant running.
Let me know where you will sell the food to go and try it, greetings!
