Uber announced the news in a blog post on its website, suggesting the feature would let users "request a ride for a loved one" such as a senior with limited mobility who doesn't have an Uber account or a smartphone.

    Ride Hailing And Car Sharing Could Reduce Auto Sales By 436 Million Units

    Car sharing or ride hailing is set to become a huge industry during the next two decades. Disruption has become the investors’ worst enemy over the past few years. Thanks to advances in technology, disruptive technologies are now gaining traction faster than ever, and venture capitalists are throwing money at start-ups, which is only accelerating the trend. Almost no industry is immune from disruption and the bottomless pockets of seed investors. The auto industry, which has

    The End of Car Ownership?

    Ride sharing and self-driving vehicles will redefine our relationship with cars. Auto makers and startups are already gearing up for the change. Cars are going to undergo a lot of changes in the coming years. One of the biggest: You probably won’t own one. Thanks to ride sharing and the looming introduction of self-driving vehicles, the entire model of car ownership is being upended—and very soon may not look anything like it has for the past century.

    Travis Kalanick stepped down Tuesday as chief executive of Uber, the ride-hailing service that he helped found in 2009 and built into a transportation colossus, after a shareholder revolt made it untenable for him to stay on at the company. Mr. Kalanick’s exit came under pressure after hours of drama involving Uber’s investors, according to two people with knowledge of the situation, who asked to remain anonymous because the details were confidential.
