Uber announces a game-changing new feature
The ride-sharing company has been busy making improvements lately.

Before Uber (UBER) launched in 2009, there were pretty much only a few ways for travelers in need of a ride to get from point A to point B: call a taxi, hop on a bus, or call up a friend and ask for a ride.
For those who remember it, the taxi experience was far from a pleasurable option. Most taxi drivers weren't very friendly, and some would barely talk to you aside from a few grunts to find out your destination.
