Uber just made knowing where your family members are a lot easier. The app now allows you to see when rides are taken by kids, spouses, and anyone else you want to include in your Family Profiles section.

Seems like just yesterday car giant General Motors invested $500 million in Lyft--the ride-sharing service competing with Uber for dominance over your cab experience. Like Google, Tesla, Uber and others, Lyft wants to bring its riders a driverless experience where cars pilot themselves. Now their project, according to the Wall Street Journal, has a launch window: 2017.

Google, Uber, and Ford have joined forces for the future of the driverless car. Along with Volvo and Lyft, the companies have created a lobbying group named the Self-Driving Coalition for Safer Streets.

In a surprise move around 2:30 p.m. today, Tuesday, February 2, 2020, Uber changed its branding. That is not momentous, but the company has gone on a tear about two of their new obsessions: bits and atoms.

Sometimes taking a cab is convenient--and sometimes it's necessary. If you go out celebrating and perhaps have a few too many cocktails, then you should look for a safe ride home. Ride-sharing service Uber has already helped reduce drunk driving crashes in California, according to a recent report from Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Now, thanks to a collaboration between Uber and portable breath analysis device maker Breathometer, it's even easier to know when you should be looking for a ride.
