The study, commissioned by Uber and Lyft themselves, exposes the ride-hailing congestion problem - and it's worse than we thought. However, Uber says the scale "is dwarfed by that of private cars and commercial vehicles."
With the advent of ride-hailing, there is a new critical need afoot for the old days of direct fleet service to end-user customers at the dealership level.
Volvo Cars and Uber have developed a fully autonomous XC90 SUV with Uber's self-driving system as part of a partnership the companies struck in 2016.
Consumer Reports said that the ride-hailing companies have not done enough to ensure vehicles in open recalls are being properly fixed.
Uber Technologies Inc. has hired Nat Beuse, a long-time official at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration overseeing vehicle safety research, to support the company's efforts to develop safe self-driving vehicles, reports Reuters.
The strike resulted from an Uber policy that slashed pay-per-mile by 25%, bringing the rate from 80 cents per mile to 60 cents per mile.
Lyft plans to go public before rival Uber.
Uber launched a redesigned version of its fleet app for fleet owners in India, and is designed to help improve the management of vehicles and drivers in the country.
For the 2020-2021 budget, $2.58 million of the total $5.6 million has been derived from ride-hailing groups.
Santa Monica, Calif.-based Fair recently partnered with Uber to rent out vehicles to the ride-hailing company's drivers.
