Uber rolled out several updates, including a way for teens to book rides, at its Go-Get event in New York City on Wednesday.
Here are the key new offerings announced Wednesday:Families and caregivers in Los Angeles and New York City will be able to request a ride with a car seat for children up to 65 pounds as part of Uber's partnership with the car seat company Nuna. Uber plans to roll out this feature in more cities in the future.Uber has introduced a phone number people can call to book a ride without using the Uber app.
"We all know that not everyone is comfortable using a phone or an app to call an Uber, like my mother-in-law," Khosrowshahi said. "What could be easier for her?"Beginning May 22, teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 will be able to request their own deliveries and rides. Consenting parents and guardians will have full control over their teens' accounts, and they can monitor trips and deliveries in real time.
Teen accounts will be available in select cities in the U.S. and Canada. They can be set up and managed within a "family profile" in the Uber app, which allows multiple accounts to be linked under one centralized payment method. "It is all about helping you manage the craziness that encompasses family life in 2023," Khosrowshahi said during the event.Family members, friends or roommates can now build group grocery orders through Uber Eats. Users can invite participants to add items, set recurring orders and set deadlines for when to order. Eligible merchants will also help groups sort out costs by automatically splitting the bill.
Initially, users will only be able to attach videos to monetary gift cards sent through the platform, but Uber said it will soon expand to deliveries as well.
