Uber shows your location to your friends during trips

Company Uber announced during this day the launch of a new function for those who travel using its application, allowing family members to know at any time where the taxi you are traveling to your destination is.

In the animation below you can see the function in action, a notification being sent to a family member when you get into the taxi, and he can see on the map the location of the taxi in relation to the point of departure and the destination to which it must reach.

This function is offered for family accounts of Uber, that is, those accounts in which up to 10 people can be integrated and payments are made using a single credit card, but not everyone from that list can see your location during your travels.

According to Uber, users have the option to choose the people with whom they share the location during a taxi trip, so that a notification will be run only on the terminals of the people chosen by you, the function being extremely welcome.

Trip Tracker uses sophisticated technology to bring you peace of mind while your nearest and dearest ride on Uber. So, the next time one of your family members is headed out – you'll know when they are on their way, which route they are taking and when they've arrived.

Uber had big problems with some drivers who assaulted customers during trips, both in the US and in other areas of the planet, so a feature like this will certainly increase the interest of many to use the Uber platform.
