Uber is a very controversial app that has raised displeasure of many taxi professionals in various European countries. The reality is that this service in the United States is very popular and there are several important technology companies that continue to bet and invest in this service expanding, as this entry shows.
Google is one of them and now it has expanded the integration of Uber in the app to reach a point where users will not even need to have the application installed. The highlight of the update is the ability to display the Uber cars and their locations in real time, which means that you will always know how far you will be from one.
Before this new update, the integration of Google Maps with Uber meant in being able to see the estimated price and click on a link that took you directly to the Uber app.
Now, Google Maps will be able to show all Uber fleet, not just standard cars. That means that anyone who wants to take a trip in an UberXL, Uber Black or whatever, can do it from Google Maps itself. Users will have the same special offers or promotions available at that exact moment.
But not only do the news stay here, since Google is testing a new feature that would allow users to be able to monitor your driver as well as communicate with them. The Google Maps app will also offer the option to create a new Uber account, for those users who have never used Uber services before.
Google Maps a great goal is scored with this update, since the Uber integration is almost complete, while Apple Maps does not offer the same experience.
