Uber is trying to change the way we use transportation. With UberPool, you split the cost and the ride with a stranger. The company is currently testing a carpool feature that picks you and another person up when going in a similar direction. Uber is envisioning a future where people don’t have to own cars.
Mid-August, you might be able to try UberPool for yourself. Imagine a trip from the beaches to downtown for as much as you would be paying for gas. If the beta version of this feature becomes available to use, I suggest you try it. Grabbing a ride with a complete stranger might make for an interesting story. You never know who you are going to meet!
UberPool works similar to the app. You grab a driver by pressing a button on your smartphone and when a carpool match for you has been found, it will tell you who you’re about to take a ride with. Uber calls this a “bold social experiment” – who knows if the experience will be fun, awkward, strange, or all of the above.
